    Default Nolle Prosse on Assault and Battery, Statute of Limitations

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia

    Hey guys, I had a problem where I had to go to court over an A and B. There were cross warrants and both parties agreed to drop charges under nolle pros for me. The charges were dropped in agreement that both parties would stay away from each other or have any contact/3rd party contact.

    This person does work in retail and one of the stores that I often shop at is where they work. I have completely avoided going there because I know charges could be reinstated against me and they are vindictive enough to make it happen even if I dont say a word to that person. I was wondering what the statute of limitations is for an assault and battery in VA after a nolle pros??

    Depending upon the crime that could be charged, the limitations period would be somewhere between one year and indefinite. Most misdemeanors are subject to a one year limitations period. Except as enumerated by statute, felonies are not subject to a limitations period.
