Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

My nephew was sentenced to 120 day at a rehab center in Michigan. He was kicked out yesterday after 93 days for being in a friends room. He doesn't want a warrent sent out for his arrest, can he just go into court and ask to speak to the judge?

There is certainly more information needed to fully answer this question. If the rehab was a term of probation, then he needs to contact his probation officer if he has not already done that. He could be brought before the Judge on a probation violation and sentenced to jail or prison. Likewise, I would need to know whether a felony or misdemeanor, and before which judge to fully answer the question. However, the simple answer is yes, contact his probation officer or the court to schedule a time to appear before the court to explain why rehab was not successfully completed.
