The prosecuting attorney must file charges against you within a set period of time unless you flee the jurisdiction of the court to avoid prosecution. The period of time during which charges must be filed depends on the type of case. You may want to speak with an attorney to see if the charges against you should be dismissed based on the applicable statute of limitations.
