NO

It all depends on where the charges were filed and adjudicated. In the USA different states have different laws for expunging criminal records. Some allow you to expunge the record if you were convicted or pled guilty and others only if you were found not guilty.

Does your record clear?

Yes, your record will clear when you become an adult at the age of 18. At that time, you will get to start with a clean slate unless it's a search from the FBI, the offenses are after 1976 (When the govt. went digital). As an adult, anything on your record will not "Clear", even if you are not convicted of the charge-the CHARGE will still be on your 'Historical charges sheet". Added: In some states, you must take affirmative steps to clear your juvenile criminal record. It may not be automatic.

If you believe that this record is completely in error and does not involve you, YOU will need to investigate and challenge the correctness of the information.

You had adjudication withheld for possession of a concealed firearm you were wanting to know if you could get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor Then clear it off your record completely?

In order to get it cleared off your record you would have to go through the same process regardless of whether it was a felony OR a misdemeanor. The process is known as expungement. There seems to be no point in going through the process of getting it reduced first. Suggest that you contact an attorney to assist you with the matter according to the laws of your state as the process is not a do-it-yoursef type exercise.

Does a DUI appear as a criminal charge in Ohio?

An OMVI (Operating Motor Vehicle Intoxicated) under 4511.19 in the Ohio Revised Code is a traffic violation and considered a misdemeanor of the 1st degree. It will appear on your driving record indefinitely due to a 20 year look back rule on 2nd offenses and greater. Due to the fact OMVI's can escalate to felony charges and the State must prove ALL offenses a defendant has committed it may be necessary for a law enforcement agency to fingerprint you and have them recorded with BCI. Every additional charge will get new fingerprints and thus record each infraction as DEFINITELY the person arrested. When you are checked CRIMINALLY for a background check or employment your records will reflect each OMVI you have been convicted of. Hopefully this will clear things up for you. No, per se, it is not written on a criminal citation, but yes, it will show up as a criminal charge on your record.
