Re: statute of limitations for a misdemeanor
This section can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Thus there is 3 year statute of limitations. Also once a complalint is file the 3 year statute of limitations ceases to run. A criminal complaint is required to be filed before an arrest warrant is issued.
