Re: on the run

You will have a warrant for a felony and you will be extradicted back to Nevada. The statute of limitations does not apply as you have already been charged. The warrant will be indefinite. I would suggest getting a criminal attorney in Nevada to handle the matter before you are arrested without bail.
