If there is a statute of limitations on misdemeanors does this mean that a warrant for arrest will expire as well?

A statute of limitations is the amount of time after the crime that legal proceedings must be initiated.
If a warrant has been issued, legal proceedings have started. To prevent someone 'on the run' from hiding until the statute of limitations expires, he can either be convicted in absence, or the time limit does not elapse during the time he is on the run.

Can you be arrested for a crime you committed 3 months ago?
Certainly. The so-called "statute of limitations" begins at the time of the commission of a crime, and ends either when a person is charged (but not necessarily arrested) or the time set by statute has run out. For misdemeanors, the statute of limitations is usually one or two years (depending on the state). For felonies, the time limit varies between three years and forever, depending on the state and the crime. Once a warrant is issued for the arrest of a person, the statute of limitations has no effect. Bench warrants and arrest warrants are valid until they are served or withdrawn.
Does a bench warrant stay on your record forever?
