If you paid to get out, rather than just were released on a summons, then failure to get permission to leave state from court could violate the bond violation of bail bond conditions is a misdemeanor with a 6 month minimum mandatory jail sentence where the bond is on a misdemeanor case (if case was a felony, then felony) do not make any statements about leaving the state to police or prosecution - if asked, say you want an attorney did you miss your court date? or do you think the warrant is for a new charge?
