If he shows up tomorrow and he has an active warrant then he will detained unless the jurisdiction that has the warrant is too far away that they won't come and get him. For example, some misdemeanor warrants have a limited mile radius such as up to 35 miles. He will at least get detained for a while and possibly a few days to see if the other jurisdiction will come and get him.
