Does the statute of limitations extend to a person fleeing from justice?

Title 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3290 provides: "No statute of limitations shall extend to any person fleeing from justice." In United States v. Gonsalves, 675 F.2d 1050, 1053 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 837, 103 S.Ct. 83, 74 L.Ed.2d 78 (1982), we held that in a proceeding on the defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment because the statute of limitations had run, the defendant's alleged flight from justice on unrelated federal charges tolled the limitations statute on the indictment charges. We reasoned that section 3290 "reflects a congressional intent to deny a person fleeing from justice in any federal jurisdiction the protection of the criminal limitations statute on all federal offenses."
