How doI deal with an out of state warrant?
I ended up getting a blood test in march because I was pulled over for expired tags and I was 20 at the time and I did have a drink. I was sent home with no charges. I went to basic training a week later or so. I was just told that I was issued a warrant for my arrest 7 months ago with a $1500 dollar bail. I currently live in another state and would like to deal with this from here. Is there anything I can do?

You should contact an attorney in the state with the open warrant to assist in clearing up the open matter. In Massachusetts, an attorney may be able to file a motion to remove the warrant and waive your presence at the various pretrial hearings. You most likely will have to attend court at some point, whether it is for a trial or to resolve the matter.
