What is the statute of limitations for misdemeanors in Kentucky?

Answer 1

Bench warranta are good until served or until withdrawn by the issuing judge. If is is a bench warrant for traffic court, that may not be all the problems you are facing. You will probably find that your drivers license has been suspended or revoked due toy our non-appearance..

Answer 2

No, there is no Statute of limitations for misdemeanor bench warrants in Kentucky. In fact, there is no Statute of Limitations for anything in Kentucky anymore. Due to the fact that people leave the state wait for the warrant to subside then come back to Kentucky and commit the same crime.

Additional: ACTUALLY, while there is no longer a SOL for felony offenses in KY, there still IS a one year SOL for misdemeanor crimes.

However, this does NOT apply to bench warrants.

In ANY state SOL's apply only if the perpetrator of the offense is not known or has never been charged. The fact that a bench warrant exists indicates that the perpetrators identity is already known.
