I don't know that it's going to be possible to avoid arrest completely; at the very least, you're going to have to post whatever bail is, or might be, set on your warrant. I'm not a Kentucky attorney, and the law and procedure does vary somewhat from one state to the next, but I tend to doubt that you will be able to just mail this one in.
Your first step is to contact an attorney who practices where the charges are going to be heard; you'll need to give him any case numbers from your paperwork, and the rest of the facts of your case, for reliable advice about what to do next. One place to look for counsel, in any state, is our website, http://attorneypages.com
