    Default Is There a Statute of Limitations for Violating Your Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon

    A friend of mine who is 75 now violated probation after being caught selling meth, pot and acid in Oregon in 1983. They fled the state since and want to return. Is there a statute of limitations for violating probation? Would she have to serve any time in jail? Would her age be a factor in the sentence? She also hasn't been convicted anywhere since. Thanks!

    Default Re: Meth Dealer Violates Probation in '83

    There is no statute of limitations that would apply. Whether there may be jail time would be up to the courts. There surely could be.

    Assuming that they would be actively looking for her at this point. She could have a warrant out there that is active, but considering that it has been 32 years since the probation violation happened, odds are that the warrant would not be acted upon unless she was stopped for a traffic violation or other similar offense.

    She could have an attorney check into whether or not an active warrant was still out there.
