retail store charged me for a bad check that was dated 2010.The citation was issued Feb 2011. No one ever contacted me until today to let me know i even had a charge which is now a warrant.
Passage of time does not automatically result in dropped charges if a warrant was issued. The relevant time period is from commission of offense to charging or from charging date until date of trial, excluding time that you were on a warrant or requested continuances, so long as the Commonwealth used due diligence to find you. This is a complicated area so consult a lawyer with all the facts of your case.
