Only capital crimes have no statute of limitations. A drug case should have a statute of limitations and no way would it last twenty years. However, if the person was formally charged (an Information was timely filed) and he ran then the statute of limitations may not apply.

The statute of limitations for a first degree felony is 4 years, all other felonies is 3 years. If the crime occured over 20 years ago, a motion to dismiss should be made concerning the statute of limitations on the offense.
