I missed court last time, so will they take me in if I go today. I also paid my ticket for my arrest warrant but I still haven't paid the late fee.

If you miss a court date, you most likely have a bench warrant for your arrest. Showing up at court will help keep you out of jail. However, you must have a valid excuse for not making your last court date.

That depends on the judge and why you missed your court date.

Whether they take you in or not depends on a lot of different factors. If your case involved a serious charge, the judge is more likely to remand you into custody. If your case only involves a traffic citation, you are more likely to be able to stay out , especially if you have already paid the fine.

If there is a warrant for your arrest for failure to pay required fees, then yes.
