Warrants do not expire; they remain active until there�remain active until withdrawn by the court.�Accordingly, if there is a warrant out for you, you cannot wait it out. You will need to appear to take care of it by appearing before a judge. The fact is that you should consult directly with a local criminal lawyer. After going over the details of the case, they can best advise you as to what you need to do from here.
