Eventually you will have to go back to the state where the felony is located and address the warrant. As long as you have a outstanding warrant, you can be arrested not only in the state where the warrant is located, but you can be arrested in your current state on the warrant as well. You can always call the court where the warrant is and they may give you some general information about what the warrant is, but until you go there and address it, it will not just disappear.
