you can turn yourself in as the Probation Officer suggested. You should do this on a Monday or Tuesday so you will be sent to court the next date. Don't delay doing this because the Sheriff is already looking for you. You could also try going directly to court and advising the State's attorney that you heard there was a warrant out for you. If you get to step up in front of the Judge you will need to have proof that you were in treatment with TASC on your court date. Bring several copies of your paperwork. Have your attorney present if possible.
