Yeah, in most states misdemeanors have to be acted upon in one year from the time the suspect is known. You could commit the crime and the police not find out for a long time and that is when the clock would run on that. Statute of limitations is more a Federal concept that locally. Many, many states have not statute of limitations on felonies.

They must have a warrant signed by a judge to arrest you. They might take the police report and any other evidence they had to the judge; but he would have to okay the arrest.

Yes, it's outstanding unless you turned yourself in.
