More details to this question:
I was sentenced to probation and I have not gone yet. My warrant is for failure to comply and restraining order violation x2. Which I have not even seen her or talked to her. She stalks me and still makes my life living hell. I don't know what to do to prove that she is the one keeping this going not me.

If there are new charges for violating the protection order (whether it actually occured or not) and if it is a domestic violence case, there is not a way to avoid going to jail until you see a judge. However, if you can find out how early in the day you need to be in the jail of the county where the charges are in order to see the judge the same day, and you get to the jail to turn yourself in before that time, then you may be able to avoid spending the night.
If a bond amount is set on the warrant, and it is not a new domestic violence charge, then you can show up at any police agency, turn yourself in, and post the bond to get a court date.
