Description
We reverse the dismissal of Jason Parkss prosecution on statute of limitations grounds. Parks was arrested on February 24, 1998, for aggravated assault and discharging a firearm within the city limits. He was released on bond the same day. In April 1998, the State charged Parks for the incident, filing an information for discharging a firearm within 1000 feet of a person, a second-degree felony. See § 790.15(2), Fla. Stat. (1997). A capias was issued on April 29, 1998, when Parks failed to appear for a scheduled hearing. He was not apprehended until September 14, 2002. On Parkss motion, the circuit court dismissed the charge on the ground that the State failed to prosecute within the three-year statute of limitations. See § 775.15(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (1997).
