Violating Deferred Adjudication

I was on one year deferred adjudication in Michigan. I violated my probation by leaving the state. I am not planning on returning back to Michigan and Michigan will not extradite me. Is there a statue of limitations on my warrant there for violating probation?

Warrants do not expire. Therefore, yours will remain active until you go back to the court where it was issued and appear before a judge. Until you do, the warrant will show up in an employment background check, or if you are stopped for even just a speeding ticket in which case you can be arrested. You then may or may not be be extradited. Even if you are not extrdited, getting taken into custody repeatedly can be embarrassing. At this point you should consult directly with a local criminal law attorney for further advice.
