You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

When you have a bench warrant, your only chance of staying out of jail is to show up at court and tell the bailiff that you are there on a warrant.

It depends upon the policy of the court. You may want to call the court clerk and inquire. Being terminated from SCRAM is fairly serious. One thing for certain, if you continue to do nothing because you fear going to jail, you will go to jail because you will get caught. Best own up and get it straightened out.

You can contact the court clerk and be placed upon the judge's calendar. Show up and have the warrant quashed. You still will have to deal with the cause that generated the need for the warrant.

No guarantees but much much better if you go voluntarily to remove warrant. Do not understand what is listed as the charge. If have someone to go and some money to pay default removal fee that would help.
