Statute of Limitations on Bench Warrants on a Minor
My question involves criminal law for the state of: my son was arrested last night and held on an outstanding warrant from 2007...when he was 17. What is the statute of limitations on a bench warrant on a minor? Plus, why wouldn't have this come up from previous driving infractions this year?

Warrants do not expire. Honestly, you are a craptastic parent to allow this to go on to the point it will affect his adult life. You were supposed to be the mature one when it happened.

There is no statute of limitations on warrants. The statute of limitations only applies only to uncharged crimes. In this instance your son was charged when the warrant was issued.

This is in what state?
It's possible that junior's driving infractions occurred outside of the pickup radius for the warrant.
