While there is a 2 year statute of limitations in that type case, that time can be tolled if your whereabouts were unknown to police (the fact that you have evaded arrest since then makes that likely). See a good criminal lawyer to evaluate the case.

A warrant has no statute of limitations. You should retain an attorney to assist you in the case. Or just go to any police station and turn yourself in. See website for other helpful hints: www.lawrencelewispc.com Good luck.
