There isn't a limit! If you have a warrant issued and you can't be found for 5-8 years(normal limit), then the forgery case CAN'T be filed, but you will be looking at Felony Fleeing charge, and that's an EVEN BIGGER crime! Best thing to do, turn yourself in and get it over with or jail is in your future!

∙ 15y agoIt depends on what kind of criminal charges you are looking at. In most states misdemeanor crimes carry a S.O.L. of two years. It varies between states but that is a pretty good guideline to use. I assume Georgia probably uses the same guidelines as we do. Sgt. Marcus McKinney T.S.R. Rhino unit
