Limitation statutes address when a charge can be commenced, not when it will be concluded. You indicate there is already a charge on file, so you need a different horse to ride.

No there isn't. If a charge has been filed, it will last until the day you die.

Statute of limitations is the length of time that the State has to file charges against you. A misdemeanor like driving on a suspended license, DUI has a 1 year statute of limitations. If the cop served you with as citation with a date to appear and you appeared and they did not file charges, then they have 1 year from the date you were arrested to file charges.

If there is a warrant for your arrest, this stops the statute of limitations.
