Re: statue of limitations

Once warrants are issued there are no longer any statute of limitations issues. And since you are in another state, tha would allow Michigan to keep their warrants on the police computers for you indefinately. Many states have reciprocity with Michigan, including Ohio. I suspect that your failure to resolve these charges in Michigan will catch up with you in Ohio sooner or later. Often, suspended license and OUIL charges in one state have an adverse effect in another.

I think you should consider taking care of these matters. If any more questions call me.
