The statute of limitations in New York is 5 years. After that you cannot be charges with the crime.

There is none for people with a warrant, so you can be 80 years old and it still won't be too late for them.

The statute of limitations only applies to the time the prosecutor has to file charges from the date of the offense. As long as they filed it in time and a warrant is issued, that will be valid forever if filed within the statute of limitations so you can't outrun or outlast a warrant. The longer you wait the worse it gets.

In South Carolina, there is no statute of limitations when criminal activity is involved. You should not use this information in taking any action and/or inaction in regards to this matter. In addition, you should consult with a local attorney in person prior to taking any action and/or inaction in regards to this information and this situation.
