With just a very few exceptions, misdemeanor crimes must occur in an officers presence for an immediate 'summary' arrest. However, if the case is reported 'after-the-fact' and requires investigation, it can take as much time as the investigation requires. The state's statute of limitations would then come into play. You would have to determine your state's statute of limitations for charging misdemeanor offenses to know the answer

It can happen at any time. Most warrants are entered into the system according to priority, and as such, misdemeanor warrants can take longer to process. Of course, this depends on the state and their procedures.

Once a warrant comes out, they police can arrest you immediately if they want to. They can also sit on the warranty if they feel you are not much harm.
