Youth tickets for smoking? Wait smoking is illegal if you're under 18?

goes to warrant for your arrest. If the warrant gets endorsed by a judge then you will be arrested and released on a Promise To Appear for a new court date. If it isn't endorsed, then you are arrested, taken downtown to jail and will have to appear before a Justice of the Peace who will decide if you can be released or held until a court date.

Best bet is to go downtown to the court house you were supposed to have appeared at and deal with it there. Ignoring means that the police will pick you up at the worst possible time and arrest you (otw to your first day at work, etc and getting your car towed)
