I was arrested 5 months ago for a misdemeanor shoplifting that occurred 32 months ago. Can I still be prosecute for this charge?

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

When was a warrant issued for your arrest?

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.

It depends on several factors including whether you warranted from the original case.

When you were ARRESTED isn't relevant. When was the warrant ISSUED?

The short answer is yes you can be charged. Retain an attorney to represent you.

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.
