What is the statute of limitations on serving a misdemeanor warrant in the state of Arkansas?

Answer 1

The statute of limitations applies to the time between a crime and when a warrant is issued. Once the warrant is issued, the statute of limitations is no longer applicable. The warrant is good forever until the person is arrested. It will always be hanging over your head.

Since it is for a misdemeanor, it would be better to just turn yourself in and get it over with. Better to do that than to have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life. If you're ever caught speeding or not stopping at a stop sign, they will run your license and you will be arrested.

Serving misdemeanor warrants
Opinion No. 2001-220
Question: What is the statute of limitation on serving a misdemeanor warrant?

Opinion: Neither the Arkansas Code nor the Arkansas rules of Criminal Procedure recites a time limit for serving a misdemeanor arrest warrant. However, A.C.A. § 5-1-109(f) provides that an action shall not be deemed “commenced” for purposes of tolling the statute of limitations on the un-derlying offense unless the arrest warrant is served without unreasonable delay. In addition, a court may characterize as an impermissible violation of due process an avoidable de-lay in service that prejudices the defendant or unfairly bene-fits the government.

So, it depends on the offense, I guess
