Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oklahoma

Is there a statute of limitation for a minor in possession of 3.2 beer in oklahoma when the ticket was given in 5-17-94. A third party contacted me stating that a bench warrant was placed in 1998 and that i pleaded guilty, which i never went to court to plead guilty. Is this a scam or can the state of Oklahoma prosecute 21 years later.

Statute of Limitations have to do with the time period between when the crime occurred and when the defendant is charged with the crime. Once a citation is written, the defendant has been charged with a crime. The charge or fines related to the charge NEVER go away, and they will pursue the defendant until the day he dies.
