If the warrant is from a court in another state, then you need to resolve it in that state instead of the one where you live now. Montana has no authority over your out-of-state case.

How to deal with a bench warrant varies from one state to another. Since you haven't even told us which state issued the warrant, this is the best answer I can give you.
