In general, 2 years. An OVI is a Misdemeanor-1 offense, which falls under ORC 2901.13(b). There are exceptions that allow prosecution beyond the statute of limitations dependent upon tolling of time. In general the specific portions of the statute are 2901.13(G) and (H) which can extend the time if you are on trial for a concurrent and related charge which extends past the limitation, or if you purposefully avoid prosecution, such as by leaving the state.
