What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I was caught by border patrol in arizona with 1/4 oz of marijuana I thought I had taken care of the ticket but a background check reveAled that I have a FTA warrant our for my arrest this happened july of 2008 I was wondering if there is a statute of limitations on something like this and if so how long it is. If there is not I was wondering what I need to do to get the charge reduced to a use of marijuana so that it won't affect my abbility to attain goverment grants and loans for school. If anyone can shed some light on this and point me in the right direction It would be greatly appreciated
