If you haven't been charged with a crime, and you are not on bail of released on your own recognizance, you are free to go as you please. However, if you leave the state to avoid prosecution, that could be used at a trial to show you knew you were guilty.

If a warrant was issued for your arrest, you could be brought back to face charges.
