Re: need information on the statue of limation

First, you describe two types of crimes. You are either charged with Aggravated assault or Recklessly endangering another person (REAP). Agg Assault can be done recklessly, but there would/should still be an serious bodily injury or attempted serious bodily injury to the person.

To quickly answer your question the case should be filed within 5 years of the event. 42 PaCSA 5552. There are limited exceptions and retaining an experienced attorney can help. Please call me if you would like more information.
