Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Hello, A person who makes products for our company was arrested on what he claims was a drug warrant from 1998. I would have expected the statute of limitations would prevent him from being charged with such an old offense. Is it possible that he was actually arrested for this ancient charge? He was arrested in Illinois, if that matters.
