Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Statute of limitations

A warrant for my arrest was issued in 1992 and I was unawre of it until nov. of that year. I moved to fla. with my dad and I was arrested on Thanksgiving Day for a warrant issued by San Diego Sheriffs Dept. I was detained in Fla. for 5 days until extridition but I was released by the jail stating that Ca. dropped the charges. I've recently moved back to Ca. 12 years later and found that I'm still listed as having a warrant for my arrest on the sheriffs dept data base. Is there a statute of limitations for a warrant like this? Or what can I do about this situation.

Thanks

Sam

Re: Statute of limitations

There is no statute of limitations on the warrant. You should retain an attorney to have the warrant quashed. Give me a call if you have any questions or want to discuss rates.
