Does statute of limitations keep running if a person is already charged with the crime but has'nt been arrested for it?

Most places toll the statute of limitations once charges have been filed. It is presumed that the reason the person can't be found is that they are hiding because of the crime. That means they know they did something wrong and that they are wanted.

What is the statute of limitations on a traffic violation in Pennsylvania?
Generally, you can be cited or arrested for a misdemeanor or other low-grade offense within a year of the act. However, if you have already been issued a citation, the statute of limitations stopped running when the ticket was issued. If you didn't appear in court for the citation, it's likely that an arrest warrant has been issued for you. Arrest warrants have no statute of limitations. They are valid until served or recalled.
