When were you formally charged? That will factor into the answer.

It is possible. I suggest you consult with an attorney and give them more information about your case in order to get a better assessment.

If charges were filed within 2 years of the incident date then you may be prosecuted.

More information is needed to better assess your situation. When was the warrant issued? In Georgia you may be prosecuted if it was within 2 years. It is important to mention that you should hire an attorney to better help you protect your rights.
