In kindergarten I took a bite out of another kid’s cookie during milk break. The teacher scolded me for it but it was probably still a misdemeanor.

Should I be looking over my shoulder?

Just don't answer the door for a while.

“Should I be looking over my shoulder?”

I heard the other day they arresting people in Tx for overdue library books. So, be careful!

In the third grade I accidentally took a girls Peppermint Patty after getting our desks mixed up. The PP was supposed to be an award to the student who did the best on a test. I can still see the nun, with the sobbing girl by her side, screaming at the class demanding to know who took Mary’s candy. Think I was going to stand up and admit it? Almost sixty years later, I think that nun (she’d be about 100 years old by now) might still be looking for the culprit. I sleep poorly at night shivering in terror worrying about that vengeful nun.

You are confusing the statute of limitations for a crime (usually 5 years for a felony) with something else. Yes, there is a statute of limitations for an escape, and it is a separate crime, but all statutes of limitations, in all states, would be "tolled" while the criminal is on the lam from the law. That means that the clock is not running on the SOL after the escape until the escapee is caught or comes back to the system.

Your cookie-thieving crime had an SOL that expired in the 4th grade.
