Under those facts you need a lawyer. The SOL is probably NOT a defense with those dates even though you did not give exact ones.

Is the date on the indictment more than four years after the warrant date? Were you at the same address the entire time? IF police are looking for you at a known address and you are not there, you do not get credit for floating around.

Good luck.
