Probably yes. It depends how angry the judge is. For sure there will be a bench warrant issued which means if he gets picked up for anything else they will surely take him to lockup. Also, he will be obligated to pay any suspended fine. Whether the judge orders police to get him right away I can not say. Your friend needs an attorney who can arrange for surrender and perhaps reduce the consequences of his ill-advised behavior.
