More details to this question:
I just wanted to know if i could sit this out instead of paying the fine. Its a drug paraphernalia charge that is now 800 dollars.I've already gone to court for this charge, and I just forgot to pay the fine. Its a year later and I received a letter with the charge and WARRANT in big red letters. What can I do? Do I need to still go to court a second time once I turn myself in? Will I be placed on probation? I have no idea what to expect when I turn myself in and I would like to know before I do.Cause if still have to pay the fine after turning myself in, I'd rather take my chances and wait till I get cought.

No. you can turn yourself in, then you have to go to court, then you could do time for the crime. But just can't sit in there with no offer from the DAs Office.
