What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
My brother has been in trouble with several DUIs in Oklahoma. He has been put in Drug Court and forced to go through Alcohol Rehab, or else he would go to jail. Now he has messed up again and left the county, possibly the country. Now all of his charges have been placed back on him and will go to jail when/if they find him. What is the statute of limitations in Oklahoma on DUI if they don't find him and he never comes back before they run out?

Q: What is the statute of limitations in Oklahoma on DUI if they don't find him and he never comes back before they run out?

A: This is not a game of tag. The warrants are good (or can be) forever. The statutes of limitation are on how long the government has to file the charges. Since the charges have been filed, there is no SOL question here. If the charges are felonies, he can be picked up anywhere in the US and shipped back to OK. Also, he will not be allowed to leave the country. Tell him to surrender.
