I wouldn't bet on it.
Re: misdemener warrant question
If you travel to a distant county and surrender on the warrant, you can be held for 13 days for the county with the warrant to pick you up. After the issuing county picks you up they will hold you until the issue behind the warrant is taken up. Because you were in a distant county when taken into custody the local da will no doubt ask for a high bail and the court will most likely grant the request.
