    Default Criminal Statute of Limitations in Ohio

    Is there a "time limit" for charging someone with shoplifting in Ohio? When this time passes, does that mean that I will not be charged?

    --Shoplifted in May of 2006
    --Under $100
    --Told me I would receive a court date
    --Haven't heard from them.

    Thanks.

    Who said you would receive a court date - could you give us a little more detail, please. Did you end up paying for the item(s) taken? Thanks.
