Statute Of Limitations Failure To Appear

What is the name of your state? NEVADA

ARRESTED AND ARRAIGNED 15 YEARS AGO FOR TRAFIKKING. FAILED TO APPEAR. IS THERE A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS OR WOULD THERE STILL BE A VALID ACTIVE ARREST WARRANT FOR ONE OR BOTH CHARGES?

Standard answer on statute of limitations:

The statutes on limitations is, among other things, a statute telling the government how long it has to file a criminal charge. It stops running the day the charge is filed.

This is not a game of tag where, if you can keep from getting caught, you are home free.

Some states and jurisdictions will pull old warrants after awhile; some states and jurisdictions keep warrants active forever.

My best advice: surrender.
