In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for a misdemeanor, including public intoxication, is typically one year from the date of the offense. This means that the state has one year to file charges against an individual for that offense. If charges are not filed within that timeframe, the individual cannot be prosecuted for that misdemeanor. Always consult a legal professional for specific legal advice or updates, as laws can change.
