Florida's statute of limitations vary a great deal based on the seriousness of the crime charged. Other factors include the age of the victim or who the victim is. Felonies that result in death or is a Capitol or life felony have no limits. The other felonies could be 2, 3 or 5 years depending on the specific charge. And if the victim is a minor it starts to run at 16. First degree misdemeanors are set as 2 years old with 1 year for others. Absence from the state can toll the statute for up to three years.

Warrants do not have a statute of limitations. Certain warrants after a specified time become "cold" meaning authorities are not actively seeking the named person. However, if said person is stopped by authorities he or she will be taken into custody.

Criminal offense or Civil? What charge? It depends on the offense. Some serious offenses do NOT have limitations on prosecution.

It may depend on the crime/offense charged in the warrant. For instance - sex crimes - homicides - escapees - never expire.
