statute of limitations

What is the name of your state? NC I was arrested almost 8 years ago for dwi and no drivers license. I left before my court date. My question is, in NC is there a statute of limitations or do I have to turn myself in after 8 years? Jail is not an option as I have a newborn and will not go to jail.

Interesting post.....
You say that you 'left' before the court date. Is this a PC term for 'jumped bail', 'skipped out', 'fled the jurisdiction', etc.???

If so, then you very likely have a warrant (or two) out for your arrest. Simply, if you get stopped and 'ran' by the police for any reason and your outstanding warrant pops up, you will get a nice set of bracelets to wear and get to go on a county or state controlled menu plan.

Your arrest is not 'optional' and has nothing to do with your being a 'new parent'. After all, if you had accepted responsibility for your actions back then, you wouldn't have this 'parental' concern today!!

You're a fugitive.

You are a wanted criminal.

The Statute of Limitations has nothing to do with it.

It only applies to the filing of charges, not a chicken who runs away.

Can we put this on the FAQ page.....maybe we won't get 1000 questions a week identical to this**************

Grow up and set a good example for your child! BENCH WARRANT! Go to Jail!
