    Question Statute of Limitations on Probation Violations

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan.

    I have a friend who ran from probation in Michigan and moved to Florida. She was charged with having a stolen credit card and served 5 months in jail and was put on probation. She thinks that in 7 years she will be able to go back and not worry about anything. i have been trying to get her to go back i told her that i will take care of financial needs and take care of her son who i legally have custody off. But she is scared because it was a felony but she had a CAP of 18 months Probation at sentencing. so my question is will this go away in 7 years like she thinks It has been 2 years now. or should i keep trying to convince her to go back?

    Advise your friend to google "tolling the statute of limitations".

    She is being incredibly foolish.

    Tolling isn't even an issue. There's no statute of limitations on a probation violation.

    A violation will be entered. A hearing will be scheduled. She will expected to appear. If she fails to present, a warrant will be issued. Warrants remain outstanding until she reports to court.

    This is an example of why people need lawyers. She should hire one and start getting this mess straightened out.
