Let us know what happened. Even if they didn't pick you up, you should still take care of this right away.

There is a possibility that the officers from the other town may show up at court to arrest you. That depends on several factors, including the timing between when the warrant was issued.

You must go to court tomorrow because a warrant will probably issue for your arrest if you do not and your troubles will be doubled.
Whether the court will be aware of your warrant depends on the stage of your case. If it is your first appearance the case will probably be adjourned because you need an attorney or the state is not ready to proceed.
As for the court where your warrant issued you can solve your own problem by call the court and speaking with the court clerk giving an apology and an explanation. You should avoid a bullshit explanation because that will only antgonize the clerk and make her or him less receptive to giving you a break on the warrant.
