Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

I was accused of a criminal misdemeanor I did not commit. Later then DA offered a plea bargain of a traffic misdemeanor class 2(Fictitious plates). I accepted it because that is what I had done. The judge ordered me to get fingerprinted within 10 days of the case. I showed up before the 10 days but could not afford it(I live below poverty and had over $200 in court fees to pay). It has been 2 months since the 10 days ran out and there should be a warrant out for me. Is there anyway to avoid an arrest or failing that not have this incident show up on my record? Thank you for your time.

File a written request explaining your econimic situtation with the judge and ask for more time.

I would move the Court to quash the warrant, but that action will still require you to pay to get fingerprinted. As Mr. Cassens indicates, your best (and cheapest) option would be to write a letter to the judge, explain your money trouble and ask for more time.
