Bet she isn’t the only one.

Warrants are usually good for 5-10 years.

Statutes of limitations prohibit filing of charges after a certain amount of time, 1-5 years for standard / low-level crimes. The statute of limitations is tolled once a charge is filed with the court. Otherwise, people would just run away and hide until the statute of limitations is over.

So long as the charge is filled and the warrant is renewed, the case stays active.
