I think that "CRT STATUS" probably means "Court Status," which is likely a court date where the lawyers and judge would discuss where a case is at in the system. Are you are asking: is it legal to charge someone with a crime after two years have passed and the prosecution previously declined to issues charges? Probably, yes. The statute of limitations for most misdemeanors is 3 years; for most felonies the statute of limitations is 6 years or more. Two years is not that long, in terms of court process.
