Re: Violating probation and leaving town untill the statue of limitations expire
No. All statutes of limitation are tolled [suspended] while you are in fugitive status. So long as you don't take care of the warrant, there is no time running against the state. Your best bet is to contact a criminal defense attorney in your town and find out the best way to take care of this problem. It will never go away on its own.
