Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania
Statute of limitations on a dui in PA
A friend of mine was arrested for DUI in 2004 and skipped court. How long does the state have to bring him to court for prosecution before statute of limitations runs out

Tell your "friend" that there is a warrant out for his / her arrest. They better retain an attorney sooner than later, b/c if they don't turn themselves in first, they will probably be caught and spend a few months in jail awaiting trial b/c bail nay not be granted!

They have met the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations does NOT run if the defendant skips court. Skipping court is no way to run out the SOL. There is no doubt a bench warrant for your friend's arrest, and has been since he skipped out.
