    Default Possession of Cocaine Warrant Issued After Moving to Another State

    I was in an automobile accident, and had to be taken to the hospital. I was there for 3 days. Cocaine was found in my car, and purse, according to the ER report. I do not remember any of this. However, my question pertains to this warrant. I was not arrested, and moved out of the state before the warrant was issued. I received a post card(forwarded to my new address, I have since changed my mailing address to a PO Box back in the state of FL) stating there is a warrant out for my arrest and to turn my self in between the hours of blah, blah, blah. No name, noone to contact. I called the Sheriff's Dept and asked if there was a warrant out and what the charge was. This is how I found about the Possession charge. I am not thinking about not doing a darn thing but continue to live in GA. I obtained a GA driver's liscense and nothing happened. 1.will this charge and/or warrant expire? 2. Will this make me a "Fugitive" for the rest of my life?
    I read some of the legalese on statutes of limitations and to be honest I just got confused. Can you please shed some light on this for me. Thank you so much.

    The warrant will not go away and, in the sense that you will have an arrest warrant pending in another sense, you will be a fugitive.
