You need a criminal defense attorney. There is a felony
warrant for your arrest and warrants do not expire. Hire an
attorney and arrange to surrender, it will look more
favorable on you.

If you are picked up, you will have a bond to post (several
thousand dollars) and will sit in jail until you can see a
judge.
