What is the Statute of Limitations (or time period) during which the State must prosecute or cannot pursue charges against you in North Carolina?
North Carolina has no statute of limitations for felonies but does have a two-year statute of limitations for misdemeanors. See G.S. 15-1. The statute of limitations begins to run on the date of the offense and continues to run until the issuance of an arrest warrant, indictment, or other criminal process.
