In criminal law, a statute of limitations governs the date by which the government must bring charges. So, since the charges were already filed, no statute of limitations applies. Minnesota will keep a case like this open, with an active bench warrant, forever. Retain an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you get things sorted out. I'm happy to provide an initial consultation and then we can take it from there.

I am afraid the statute of limitations does not apply to your case. The statute of limitations is the time period between when a crime occurs and when it is charged. It appears that you were charged. As a result, a warrant for your arrest may continue indefinitely unless or until the charges are addressed in court.
You should retain counsel to determine how the case may be best approached.
