Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
How long is the Statute of limits for disorderly conduct in Michigan? Me and a cashier got in a verbal fight at a store, and she called the cops after I was gone. Can this be tracked back to me? Warrant? What happens next?

They have six years from the date of the offense to file charges. That stops the clock from running once that happens. There are other things that can temporarily stop the statute of limitations clock from running as well. I would strongly suggest you consult with a criminal lawyer in your area before you speak to anyone about the case, including law enforcement. They can only put out a warrant if they know who you are which they may be trying to find out.
