Just keep in mind that they locked up Michael Cohen on these charges related to covering up the payments to Stormy Daniels. The charges were felonies. Cohen was sentenced to three years in Federal prison. Trump is likely to be locked up for a similar period of time if he is convicted of charges which are likely to be very similar.

Secret Service would decide the arrangements of surrender, if any, not law enforcement.
So why then did Michael Cohen do time?
You do understand that President Trump gets Secret Service protection for the rest of his life wherever he goes correct?I'm hoping it goes something like this:
tax evasion.
At the behest of his boss, Individual-1.

It would be interesting to see how this works out in the hoosegow.
Let's take a look at the felonies Michael Cohen was convicted of. Nearly all directly relate to hiding the Trump payments to women. "President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney and adviser pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two felony campaign finance violations. Those are crimes. And he confessed to them under oath, saying he willfully violated those laws at Trump’s direction."

"Between 2012 and 2016, COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the Internal Revenue Service, avoiding more than $1.3 million in income tax. COHEN also made false statements to a federally insured financial institution to obtain a $500,000 home equity loan. Finally, in 2016, COHEN made or caused two separate payments to women to ensure that they did not publicly disclose their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate in advance of the election. In one instance, COHEN caused American Media, Inc. (“AMI”), which was identified in previous court filings as “Corporation-1,” to make a $150,000 payment to one woman; in the other, COHEN made a $130,000 payment to another woman through an LLC he incorporated for the purpose of making the payment. COHEN was reimbursed for the latter payment in monthly installments disguised as payments for legal services performed pursuant to a retainer, when in fact no such retainer existed. COHEN made or caused both of these payments in order to influence the 2016 election and did so in coordination with one or more members of the campaign."
