I would suggest contacting a local attorney who specializes in criminal law to investigate the case and to talk to the county attorney.  It is not unheard of for a warrant to be incorrectly prepared on the wrong person.  It is also possible that the background check found a warrant on someone with a similar name.  You need to straighten this out before it does affect you.  The best way is for a local attorney to discuss the case with the county attorney and reach a resolution to either correct the warrant or reach a resolution on the case.
