Your question is quite vague and as such, it is essentially impossible to answer it as framed. If you were arrested for a driving under the influence of alcohol or a contolled substance ten (10) years ago and the charge was never resolved as to you where you failed to appear at a court hearing, there is most likely a bench warrant outstanding for your arrest in that particular state.
Meaning, if you are pulled over and the bench warrant appears, you will be take into custody to clear it.
However, if you resolved the charge that you are writing about completely including payment of all fines, then there is nothing for you to worry about.
