I go to school in DC (where I live) and I got a DUI in Maryland. Had a preliminary inquiry case yesterday and missed it because my only flight back is tomorrow. Researched and found out I might have a bench warrant now and I am wondering what my next actions should be?

Find a criminal defense lawyer in Maryland, presumably in the county in which you were arrested and charged. They will have a better understanding of the system up there and how it works re: bond walkthroughs, etc.

Retain an criminal attorney in Maryland and post a criminal bond. You do not want to make the matter worst with a failure to appear. DUI is a serious misdemeanor with a potential jail time of one year.
