Sounds like you have a statute of limitations defense to me. I'm confused if you've been arrested or if a recent background check simply revealed a bench warrant for an old charge.

Regardless of your statute of limitations defense, with misdemeanor cold checks, the county attorney will probably dismiss if you pay the check amount and the court costs.

As always, consult a criminal defense attorney who practices in your jurisdiction. A few phone calls will probably take care of this for you.
