Re: Forgery in MT
The statute of limitations for forgery, in Montana is 5 years after the commission of the offense. There are events that cause the statute not to run, such as the person being out of state, or not found within the jurisdiction. In other words, a person can't commit a crime here, go somewhere else for five years and then come back and have the charge dismissed.
