You really should have legal representation regarding this. A bench warrant will not expire and needs to be taken care of. This means going to court and appearing before a judge. You will also need to handle the underlying charge, which is a serious one and can potentially carry jail time. Accordingly, you should consult with a criminal law attorney; they can best advise you further.
