Here's the response from Amherst, today. The Petrit Vasi hit and run is "open and active" even though the statute of limitations has expired. Also, for some reason they think it happened in August and not February.

**UPDATE**
A lot of talk about how the statute of limitations freezes if a suspect leaves the jurisdiction. This is not true the way it is being stated. The clock freezes only after a suspect is charged or a warrant is issued, and there is no evidence such a thing has happened here. What I think we're dealing with is a very stubborn person in a position of a little power.
