A: Contact a local criminal attorney who can work with you to facilitate turning yourself in with as little hassle as possible to begin the criminal case process. All this will play out in court now, and if her allegations are baseless, that will come out in the court process. What you do not want to do is put your head in the sand; with a warrant out, you run the risk of being picked up and put in jail at anytime...and more often than not, it would be at precisely the most inconvenient time. Arrange to turn yourself in with a lawyer to at least gain some control over that aspect of the situation.
