B and E from 1974 Arrest

[homeinoh]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Kentucky

I was arrested in KY Aug 1974 for b and e of a department store.

Yes I was there.

It was referred to the grand jury Sep 1974.

I was working with military police at the time. They asked the court/state police to drop the charge. They appeared to drop it.

I have had numerous background checks. The arrest and charge show up with the FBI but with no depostion.

I have led a troublefree life since then.

I took up shooting about a year ago. I applied for and received my concealed carry Oct 2008 from OH.

I just got a call from Sheriff (Feb 2009) that there was a problem. It seems there is a problem in that the OH BCI cannot find a deposition for that arrest.

I called the county where it happened-initially they could not find it either. I called back again and they finally found it. They said it had been sent to the KY State Archives. I will talk to them tomorrow.

I want to get it expunged.

Has the charge been dismissed if sent to the KY State Archives. Can I get expunged if there is no stature of limitations and it has not been dismissed.

I am afraid that I might re-open it also. Could that happen?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Arrest does not equal conviction. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
