I submitted to a criminal background investigation for a federal position some months ago and during the investigation they discovered a warrant that was issued for my arrest in 1991 charging me with "theft by check deception" in indiana. I was never served, nor never notified of the charge. Several background checks have been conducted in the past 7 years due to my military service and security clearance requirements and this has never been discovered. I have also recently had a GCIC/NCIC check done which turned up "no wants, no warrants." I am a bit concerned with the development and what it means to my job application for one, and legal status for another. I am currently employed by a law enforcement agency and would hate to embarrass my employer with an arrest.
Now the questions: what can I do to verify/dispute/clear this? why is this not showing up in any checks? Has the statue of limitations been tolled due to me leaving the state?
Thanks for any help.

The statute of limitations would ordinarily stop running at the time the warrant is issued.

You may with to hire a criminal defense lawyer in the county where the charge was filed to verify the status of the prosecution and warrant, and to see if there is a way to resolve the case (ideally with a dismissal).
