What to do if I received a letter from the state stating that I have a warrant and need to go to the District Court or my license will be suspended?

When I go to the court, am I going to be arrested? I got the letter on Friday and I plan to go Monday morning. I had an argument with my girlfriend and then left her house because she was punching me. She claimed that I hit her but in reality she tried grabbing me by my neck to stop me from leaving causing a scratch on my neck and as I tried to turn around to get her off, my arm hit her accidently. The police have not been to my house.

I would not go with out an attorney with you.  A complaint has been filed against you and it is likely that you will be taken in to custody or arraigned and you need to have some one there to run interference for you.  It is best to turn yourself in rather than wait for the police to stop you and run your license then take you in.  And best because you can show that you are not running and are fully cooperating with their investigation.  Good luck.
