If you were found innocent, I don't believe that would show up on a background check would it?
Also, the story I read said it went down around 6:45.....it took campus PD till 3am to identify them via surv. video and match that to their ID's.
Yeah it shows up as a felony arrest. Also shows that I was acquitted though. Not sure of the particulars... have to ask 'Law. But the arrest is still present. At the time I could have had it espounged (sp?) from my record but it was like $500 and I didn't have the money.
I actually used a public defender through the whole process and didn't tell my parents. In retrospect that was stupid. They would have helped me and I'm sure would have shelled out the money to clear my record. When I finally told them years later they were incensed that I didn't let them help me. But it was a weird time for me. I was trying to be on my own. I fell in love with a girl and we were getting married. We got married one week after my 20th birthday. The warrant actually came in the mail a couple days before the wedding... so I was a wanted man while on our honey moon (And not just by the Ol Lady...) Not that anyone was looking for me or anything but I was paranoid about be pulled over by a state trooper the entire time.
I always thought that was weird though. If someone is arrested and then found innocent, shouldn't the arrest be deleted by the state. I got jammed up on some BS charges by a part-time, red neck, pissed off, sheriffs deputy and was found to be "NOT GUILTY" in a COURT OF LAW and now I have to shell out my hard earned money to clear my name for a sh!t charge that never should have happened in the first case?!?!? Where is the JUSTICE in that???
Anyway, I just celebrated my 41st birthday (it was celebrated despite not having a happy b'day "Alagator" thread on my favorite website) and me and that sweet girl, who took a chance on this wanted man, just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.
