Re: Ia the a statue of limitations on a drug felony charge?

You made the mistake of kicking a sleeping dog. High time
(no pun intended) to hire yourself an attorney. If a Jane
Doe warrant was issued at the time, that tolls the statute
of limitations.
See, it's like this. Lots of times there's evidence of a
crime but nobody to hang it on. So the state issues a John
Doe warrant and that gets rid of any problems with the
statute of limitations.

If your pal with the access said it was listed as unknown,
why on earth did you inquire further-the state's not near as
dumb as folk think.
