Want this question answered?
Your first offense is the FIRST offense/crime you were ever arrested for and charged with. Your SECOND offense/crime is the second time you were ever arrested and charged for. And so on...... . Third - Fourth - etc. The more offenses you have on your record, the harsher your sentences will subsequently become.
If you were arrested and/or charged with the offense, yes.
If you were charged and convicted of a Misdemeanor offense, yes. If you were charged and convicted of a Felony, no.
Employers are free to exlude CONVICTED persons from employment, but not those arrested and not convicted. Hiring ex-cons is risky, and employers avoid unnecessary risk.
It makes no difference where you are arrested. You will be charged and arraigned for the new crime. Because of your status you will not be offered bail for the new offense, and the court will, in all probability, revoke your bond for the first offense and send you to jail.
If the application asks if you were ever CHARGED, no, you do not. HOWEVER - if the application asks if you were ever ARRESTED, if you were arrested for the alleged offense, you must answer yes.
If you are evading arrest for a felony offense, when you are arrested your charge will be for whatever the original offense was.On the other hand, if you were in custody and then fled, you would be charged with the original crime PLUS the offense of being an escapee.
The police are free to lay additional charges if they have evidence which supports those charges.
Huh? It means exactly what it says. How much clearer coudl it be?
SOL's only apply if the subject that committed the offense has avoided arrest. Once you've been arrested SOL's no longer apply.
If you were arrested, charged, and convicted of that offense it will ALWAYS remain on your criminal record. That is why it is called a criminal HISTORY.
That's a question only you can answer. What offense were charged with? How serious was it? Will it affect your future employment or schooling? If nothing else, if you were arrested the arrest will show up.
