You should seriously consider retaining an attorney to assist you in this matter. The best approach is to get this matter back on the court calendar. Then obtain a copy of the police report and and then review your options. If the matter is not put back on calendar and the bench warrant recalled you face some time in jail. You may also be charged with an additional crime of failing to appear.
