you need to consult with an attorney to see if the SOL has actually run. There could be reasons why the time was tolled.

When you say the statute has run do you mean all you were given is tickets and nothing else has happened or are you saying that you got a notice from the court that the case was docketed and they have not proceeded with your case yet?

I'm sorry but your question is just too unclear and I'm not able to answer it given the facts you've stated.

They may have filed charges, and you haven;t had the arraignment date yet. They don't have to return the bond until the case has been closed.
