Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. A.B.
October 1, 2021341 Conn. 47
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the prosecution because the arrest warrant was issued within the applicable limitations period but was not executed without unreasonable delay. The tolling provision applies only to the period for bringing a prosecution and does not extend the time for serving a warrant after the prosecution has already commenced. Because the state knew the defendant's whereabouts and conceded that the nearly five-year delay was unreasonable, the prosecution was time barred.
