Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

2 questions in one. I have an outstanding warrant that I found on my own in the state of North Carolina, it's for Larceny more than $1000 (wich i'm innocent but I will explain shortly). my first concern is that it doesn't come up when cops in other states stop me, it doesn't come up when my jobs do a full backround check and I am saying FULL in detail because I work for the government and they to the most extensive background checks and everything comes as clean record. but when I look at the warrant look up online myself for that specific city, Charlotte, NC. it comes up. should I even worry about it? they don't have my social or ID information just my name. 2nd, how to clear that? I don't live in that state anymore and when I try to find the person that filed the police report by misunderstanding he is no longer in this country. what happened in a nutshell is that I was working for this man and I went to cash a check to pay the workers (painters) but I came back the next day because I found an exgirlfriend and got drunk and totally forgot about even going back to pay the workers. when I went back the next day they were freaking out and they said that they even called the cops. I thought that they were playing and just ignored it, then 2 years later I was just looking up for information and found the warrant look up website for Charlotte, NC and put my name and it came up. then I tried to contact the person that said that filed the police report and they told me that he left the country. Now, I don't know if I should ignore it because I've been stopped twice by cops for traffic tickets in other states and I've been hired by 2 major banks that run a full, major backround check and a job at the government and nothing comes up. what should I do if I go try to resolve it and I don't even live in the East Coast anymore.
