You can't just get the warrants "squashed". You have broken your probation which is a criminal offense and is taken seriously by the courts. You will have to turn yourself in and appear before a judge. What happens from there will be greatly�influenced by whether or not your have legal representation. In fact, you really need to consult with�an attorney�now. Since you gave no backgrond information (what where you on probation for? When did you skip out on it?, Why? etc.), they will be in the best position to advise you after hearing all of the details of your case. Whatever you do, don't ignore the warrants...They don't expire...They are not going away.
