Whether the statute of limitations applies to a drug offenses crime depends on many factors. The largest factor being whether something happened to table or "toll" the statute of limitations. Tolling the limitatations means that the time applied toward counting days and or years from the offense stops and the crime sits in limbo (if you will). Usually the state argues that the person charged with the drug offenses crime has purposefully avoided service of a warrant or indictment, and in Ohio most judges seems to go along with such arguments when the question of tolling the statute comes up in a case.
