It depends on the charge. If it is a misdemeanor charge, they have up to two years. If it is a felony charge, the have even longer.

If you are contacted by the police, I would suggest that you not make any statement. If you are contacted by them, I would suggest that you retain a lawyer right away.

I practice criminal law here in Lancaster County and offer free phone consultations. If you are charged with a crime or are contacted by the police, feel free to contact me.
