Not much--this time. A misdemeanor is a less serious offense than a felony, you did turn yourself in, and this is your first offense. Probably you will pay a fine and be placed on probation for some period. But of course since you didn't say what you were arrested for, the fine amount and length of probation is a matter of conjecture. And, before you appear in court, you'd better consult an attorney.
