How long do capias stay in effect in Virginia?

A capias is a warrant or order for arrest of a person, typically issued by the judge or magistrate in a case. It is an "original' warrant instituted by a judicial officer themself, and not upon the affidavit of law enforcement. It is effective until you are apprehended, the capias is withdrawn by the judicial officer who issued it, or the statute of limitations on the offense runs out.
