A: Check with the local courthouse and see if there is an outstanding or open warrant? The best way is to call the police or retainer a lawyer to make the call for you.

A: It is better to contact A local Lawyer who can bring your matter to the court, because if the the knock was for your arrest you must have been under custody. But it might be some other issue

Person may be called to police station in case when some information is needed by police with regards to some issue where he has knowledge or is releted in somehow in that problem.
