Warrant means criminal charges against you. What can you do? Defend the criminal charges, just like every other defendant has to do. Go to court, enter your not guilty plea if appropriate, arrange bail or OR, set up and attend your court hearing[s] and trial date, file your motions as applicable, go to trial if you can't resolve it with a plea bargain. You can raise all your defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for plea bargaining or at trial. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all disappear. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does. If serious about doing so, and this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

If you are 16, you are going to need to speak to an attorney who is familiar with juvenile delinquency matters, unless you are tried as an adult. I suggest you speak to one, and not to the police, or anyone else.
