Surrendering to the Warrant
If you find that there is a warrant out for your arrest, you have the legal right to turn yourself in at the Merced Police Department or Merced County Sheriff's office. This is known as "surrendering to the warrant".
Once you've turned yourself in, law enforcement officers will take you into custody and you will then be booked and fingerprinted. After that time, you can be released, after a pre-arranged 'scheduled' bail amount has been posted and a new court date is assigned, otherwise you may appear before a judge who will decide if you should be detained or allowed to post bail depending on the alleged charges and any other unforeseen circumstances.

What is an Arrest Warrant?
An arrest warrant in Merced County, CA, is based upon evidence called probable cause. A judge usually issues an arrest warrant on the basis of an officer's or prosecutor's declaration that the subject is responsible for committing a crime. The law enforcement officer will still be required to demonstrate "probable cause" for requesting the warrant. What this means is that there must be probable cause to believe that criminal activity is or has taken place.
Outstanding Warrant
An arrest warrant in Merced County, CA, remains in effect until law enforcement makes the arrest, the individual appears in court, or bail is posted. If the warrant cannot be timely served or the person is not found, the order becomes an outstanding warrant.
