I moved to another state to get away from that shit state of Arkansas, and now im trying to find another job. Its scary when I have to look for work, its also embarrassing, because I was innocent of the crime that I was charged with, but I was looking at going to prison for a long time. I felt like they were going to put me in prison, just because they could, and they wanted to, so I was stupid and took a damn plea bargain that kept me out of prison. They said that they will expunge it after 5 years, and they did expunge it, but its not expunged from these background check websites.
Final Update: So the 24 hours in jail was not terrible... Nobody tried to start shit with me (or rape me haha) but it was just incredibly boring. I was also lucky to not have tweaker cell mates while I was there which coulda made things really bad.
But in response to the post above mine... I'm sure there's some sort of legal action you can take if you just ask a good criminal lawyer about your situation. If you received a deferred charge or they dropped the charge and have not had any more "incidents" for over 11 years AND you had the arrest expunged then nothing should be coming up on background checks... That means that the police department who was prosecuting you has not correctly delt with it and they can be sued over that type of thing. Good luck!
hmm
wats that son
come give uncle bear a hug
lol yeah my days n night in cell are BORING
Dude i just got busted for the same shit, the only thing i wasnt driving, and because it was my first offence and i cooperated with the officer, i got 2 of the charges, parif. poss. and consump dropped to possession. I got 30 days suspended jail time for a year, and $400 fine, but i also sat in jail all weekend because South Dakota is a Zero tolerence state., but since you were driving they might suspend your license for 30 days or so, but grand you a work and school permit. I also pled guilty to all my charges and didnt appeal any of them, or bother with a lawyer, so you might be able to get out of some more.
