Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this post.

A very close friend of mine currently has an arrest warrant for her, and if she is caught, is facing 8 years in the State Prison. Her charges are all drug related with only 1 assault charge. She has made it very clear to me that there is NO WAY she can do 8 years. She is making plans to leave the State, and live with an ex-boyfriend.

If she happens to find work in the state she goes to, how long would it actualy take for her employer and/or local police to find out she has an arrest warrant? If she is caught would there be more time added to her already 8 year sentence? Is there a statue of limitations on arrest warrants?

Iv'e begged and pleaded with her to turn herself in before it gets worse, but being away for 8 years locked up like an animal just is not an option for her. Again, thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond to this post.
 
Who knows? She could be stopped for a traffic violation right the first day and be arrested when the cop runs her license in the computer. She could also be able to live and work there for years until the same thing happens. Nobody knows. But the point is, does she want to live in eternal fear that she will be caught? Every time a police car drives by her heart will beat a staccato. Every time someone looks at her a little longer she will wonder if the guy is a cop. Every time her boss calls her to the office she will wonder if some cops are waiting there with handcuffs...

And yes, some states make avoiding arrest or fleeing from custody an additional crime that can add years. Leaving the state also will most probably stop the statute of limitations from running, so that she can still be arrested ten or twenty years from now.

The saying should be: You can hide, you can run, but you won't live in peace.
 
Not to mention that if you know she has a warrant and you do not turn her in you can also be charged. Just something to think about.
