Best Answer

The statute of limitations for gross misdemeanors is two years from the date of violation. RCW 9A.04.080(1)(i). However, as you have noted, when a person appears for arraignment and then absconds from the courts, the statute of limitations and speedy trial rights are tolled. Thus, the court and prosecutor can keep the case alive indefinitely. Your DUI in Washington is likely tolled and you need to seek a Criminal Defense Attorney to help handle your matter. If there is an outstanding warrant, you can appear with your lawyer and have the warrant quashed so that you can address the matter.
