You're exactly right, citation. I was 19 at the time, hence the record shows up on my background check. I'm doing some research right now, and it looks like my case will be fairly easy to have expunged in NC where it occured. I never looked into expungement previously because I haven't had to look for employment since it happened. Sure would be nice to not have to tell anyone about this in an interview. Glad I stumbled across this thread today. This is why I shell out the big bucks to subscribe to this forum!
