I'm not a Pennsylvania attorney, but my research suggests that if you left the state, the statute of limitations does not run while you're gone, which is similar to a number of other states.  The Pennyslvania statute appears to be relatively complex, as to the particular limitations, so without knowing exactly what you were going to be charged with, it's hard to be more specific.You haven't said where you're living now, or whether you have plans to return to Pennsylvania.  There might be an active warrant out for your arrest;  if you want to find out your status in detail, you need to talk to a Pennsylvania attorney, who can give you reliable advice based on all of the facts.  One place to find a lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
