Got an arrest warrant in the mail

I want to make sure my understanding of what I have read is correct. I got an arrest warrant in the mail which specified the offense was california penal code 369G (B). Here is the site I found about it: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cacode...369a-402c.html

Does that mean the most I can get is a traffic class and a $100 dollar fine?

I read the code, but obviously I am not a lawyer so I want to make sure, does that mean the most I can get is a traffic class and a $100 dollar fine?

You may want to call the local district attorney and ask what the penalty max will be, as a first step.
