I arrested my husband this weekend for assault which happened 12 days ago. I was afraid that it would be too late. However, the policeman told me assault charges can be filed for up to a year. Obviously, if you have pictures and/or witnesses, it would help your case.

I'm not completely, 100% sure, but I think that 5 years is the longest statute of limitations for any crime in the United States. Murder is the only crime for which there is no statute of limitations. Even rape and child sexual abuse have a 5-year statute of limitations. And I would imagine that the statute of limitations for petty crimes like graffiti would be much shorter. So, if it's been 5 years or more since you graffitied-up something, then I seriously doubt you need to worry about prosecution.
You are confusing your terminology. A statute of limitations refers to a legally prescribed time period after which a prosecution for a criminal offense or a civil wrong may not legally take place. Reporting past criminal conduct or a persons criminal history does not fall under this definition.
