I was out on bail. They didn’t notify me they were going to file a complaint by mail or anything. I went to the arraignment. They told me it was processing and now I have an arrest warrant out on me.

If you had posted bail on the matter then why is there an arrest warrant? Did you miss a court date? Get an attorney and go to court and get the matter taken care of. Do not plead guilty even if you are. If you do that then you lose all bargaining power. Usually something can be worked out.

If you were arraigned then the arrest warrant should be resolved. Talk to an attorney about this issue and discuss your options.

You find out who filed the complaint & if there is an officer in charge you contact him/her to make arrangements to turn yourself in on the warrant so that they don't come after you at an inconvenient time.
