What will actually happen depends on the judge. If the jail will accept you late, there should be no problem. If the jail refused to accept you late, the court will issue an order to show cause, and you will have a chance to explain what happened. The judge has the option of imposing additional jail time or a higher fine. He is most likely to send you to jail from the court, so be prepared for that.
