    Assault and Battery (I have no clue as to what "turentsey" means. )?

    That would be a criminal charge. If you fail to show up, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Contact an attorney and arrange to re-schedule immediately.

    Oh. "truancy". Playing hookey, in other words. The difference, of course, is that while A & B is a crime, truancy is not; it's a juvenile violation.

    But as I say, you can expect to be taken into custody.
