That will depend on the number of factors including how his particular judge handles those types of situations. They could keep him locked up until his case is resolved. Make sure he has an experienced DUI attorney representing him as this is a serious charge.

He 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 him.

They should bring him before a judge today or tomorrow at the latest. It would not be surprising if his conditions of release include a substantial cash deposit.
