Re: Statute of Limitations
Filing the complaint stops the statute of limitations from running.
If you do not appear in court as required on the citation or order of the court, a bench warrant would be issued. There is no statute of limitations on the bench warrant.
Depending on the circumstances you may have a defense under the constitutional provision for a speedy trial. You should discuss the matter with an attorney.
