Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Shoplifting Question

[ezlope]

In 1999 I got busted stealing $20 worth of clothes. I never went to jail but was fingerprinted in the back room of the store. Was told it was a 1st degree misdem. Paid my fine.
I went to court, was in a room with 20 other kids & we all got our community service papers at once. I did my community service.
Will this be on my record 8 years later?? Was it a REAL conviction? How far back to common employers go back on a background check?

Thanks in advance

With the limited information you have provided I will say yes

What details do you need to clarify?

 

[jacksgal]

What did you plea in court? What was verdict? Was ACD or Diversion mentioned? What was actual charge?

 

[ezlope]

Forgive my ignorance. There was no real court. Literally they called a herd of us in, made us watch a movie, we signed up for trash pickup, paid a fine and that was it. I also paid the store that I owed. I never did any jail time nor talked to an attny or judge one on one. 1st degree misdem petty theft.

It appears as though there will be no record but a call to court should let you know for sure
