Re: physical harassment
If it was a misdemeanor offense, the statute of limitations to prosecute the crime would normally be one year from the date of the incident in most jurisdictions. However, from your description of matters, it would appear that your case has already received some kind of disposition and that you apparently failed to complete all of the conditions of your probation, namely, anger management. However, this would have nothing to due with a statute of limitation issue, but whether the court has issued a warrant for your arrest for failure to complete the conditions of your probation which may still be outstanding and which you could probably find out about by calling the clerk of court(criminal division).
