Although there are exceptions and caveats (as there are with nearly every area of the law). The State has 3 years to file a complaint under Minnesota Statute 628.26. That being said, if the State chooses to charge the person, they will generally be notified within a week or two, although I have seen it take 3 months.

If you (or whoever is facing charges) is contacted by the police, it is important not to discuss the case with them and to ask to contact your attorney as soon as possible. If you would like to speak with us further about this case, please give us a call for a free initial consultation. (612-217-0077)
