Statute of limitations only applies to an indictment. In other words, after and only after an arainment if the prosecution fails to secure an indictment then you can't be indicted. that is only in federal court as well. there really is no such thing as statute of limitations anymore. I lived with major warrents for 8 years, always running, always scared. You can't get a job, you can't get a house, I lived in the woods in Oregon for a while. I went to mexico but couldn't figure out how to make it and snuck back into the country after 2 months. Its hell dude. Do not run. You have a lawyer, use him wisely. Unless you have priors for nearly the same shit you'll be ok. You will probably get something like 1 year in the county jail and probation for 5 years. Alot of it depnds on where this occured, your record, your age, how you acted with the cops etc..
Take it from someone who has been there: just be cool and this too shall pass...
