If you have two outstanding warrants that you want to have resolved stemming from charged felonies, you are free to walk to the nearest police station to turn yourself in to get the matter resolved.
Before you do so, I suggest that you mention to family members or friends as to what you plan on doing so that they will know where you are located so they do not worry about you.
By turning yourself in for the outstanding warrants, there is a good chance that any punishment issued by the court will not be as severe compared to you not turning yourself in and being picked up by chance.
