If you have been identified well enough to be the subject of a warrant by name, there usually is no Statute of Limitation. If it IS covered under your state's SOL law it may also depend on what the offense actually is.

The short answer is forever.There are ways of "removing"an arrest or conviction however.You can apply for "expungement" of an arrest or conviction if you meet certain criteria.My suggestion is to research the laws and exceptions in your juristiction. Be advised that I am not a lawyer and the answers provided do not reflect case law or laws.

If you have actually been identified by name as the perpetrator, it will not go away. Only if you were the anonymous perpetrator of the offense would the SOL's kick in.

Also . . whenever you are ot of the state, the SOL's stop running.
