Are you talking about criminal side and not civil?   If so, if there is a warrant for your arrest, it doesn't expire.  but do look at this: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol14_Ch0701-0853/HRS0803/HRS_0803-0001.htm

In terms of check fraud, there also may be other charges: conspiracy, conversion, etc.
