What is the statute of limitations for a warrant for possession of controlled substance in Arizona?

Answer 1

If there has been a conviction, there is no statute of limitations involved. The purpose of a statute of limitations is to prevent someone being tried for something that happened long in the past, when the memories of witnesses have been fogged by time, or influenced by others. Some states don't have a statute of limitations for felonies. Once you have been convicted of a felony, it will stay on your record for life, it doesn't go away.

Answer 2

in sc your screwed . i would think it depends on the substance Answer: Warrants are not dependant on substance, quantity or type of controld substances. Warrants are issued in general. They are a means in which to locate and or apprehend a person of intrest, suspect or known criminal and as such, have no statutes of limitations. Warrants do not expire, and are survivable past the statutes of limitations for the crimes they are requested for. There are ways to remove warrants. You could surrender. Or, if the statute of limitations are up, have an attorney file a motion to "quash" the warrant. You could die and that would render a warrant as unservable.

Answer 3

There are no SOL's for active warrants for a criminal offense. The warrant will remain in effect until the named person voluntarily surrenders or is taken into custody by authorities.

Answer 4

For drug possession with intent to distribute, like most felonies, Arizona has set the limit at 7 years. Murder and sexual assualt have no limit.
