Did you have an attorney? If so contact your attorney imediately. In most cases when a person fails to show up as you describe it, it causes more serious problems with the prosecutor and the Judge. Sometimes, your failure to show up will be considered a violation of the conditions imposed in your particular situationand then you will be resentenced . This means that you would be facing the conviction(s) and possible straight time. If you don't have an attorney you need to hire one.
