What was the misdemeanor? Actually standing before a judge and pleading 'guilty' is not a necessity for a record. If you paid the fine you DID, in effect, plead guilty.
It might depend on for what offense the citation was issued. Was it a traffic citation? Citations are sometimes issued for minor misdemeanors, in lieu of arrest. Misdemeanors ARE criminal offenses.
Depends. Criminal searches are different from an actual arrest search.
An arrest record shows when a person was taken into custody by law enforcement, while a criminal record includes information about any charges or convictions. Both can impact a background check, but a criminal record is more serious as it indicates a person's involvement in criminal activities.
You are referring to expungment. The process varies by state.
No, being issued a criminal citation is not the same as being arrested. When someone is arrested, they are taken into custody by law enforcement officers. However, with a criminal citation, you are typically not taken into custody but are rather given a written notice to appear in court at a later date to address the charges against you.
Typically, an arrest that has been nolle prossed (dismissed by the prosecutor) may still appear on a criminal background check. However, the final disposition of the case should indicate that the charges were dismissed. It is recommended to review the background check results carefully and provide an explanation if needed.
Yes, outstanding warrants may appear on a criminal background check conducted by an employer. Warrants are official documents issued by a court authorizing law enforcement to arrest an individual, so they may show up as part of a criminal records search.
There are a few companies that offer individuals the ability to do a criminal background or arrest warrant search for fee. Are there any sites that allow you to search for free?

Depends on the state and criminal background of the defendant. You haven't given us enough to answer the question.
Not really enough information is disclosed in order to answer. However - if the remanded charge was the result of an arrest for a criminal violation, even though the remanded charge MAY not show up, the record of the arrest will.
Yes, an arrest is not the same as a criminal record. An arrest is when a person is taken into custody by law enforcement, while a criminal record is a documented history of a person's criminal offenses. An arrest may or may not result in a criminal record, depending on the outcome of the legal process.
