Legal Question in Banking Law in Illinois

I was living in North Carolina with some friends, and had a bank account opened in my name. My friends put their rent money on my bank card and when I went back to my home, Chicago, for a visit, there was numerous transactions made from the account, all of which I did not do. I went back out there to the bank, and the transactions were proved as identity theft. But I have learned that I have a misdemeanor now in North Carolina for the same thing, and I have never been in trouble with the law. What can I do, and what can I possibly be charged with if a warrant for my arrest is issued?
