Contrary to popular belief/myth/legend, arrest warrants do not expire. They will always remain in NCIC (nationwide) or the state's computer system until you are apprehended and brought before a judge.

Until it is executed or dismissed by a judge.

A bench warrant will always stay active and never expire. It will be readily available for a few years and later may not be noticed unless someone starts to search for one on your record.
