Will a Fingerprint Background Get Different Results Than Name / SSN Background Check

[chopper1]

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Kentucky,

I am applying for a non-falculty position at a middle school to coach. Twenty five years ago I made some bad decisions and was arrested twice for DUI. One of them was dismissed and the other was reduced to a public Intoxication. I have recently had some background checks performed for the state of Kentucky and they have come up empty. This position I am applying for is in a different state but they are also asking for a fingerprint and I was wondering if it would have different results than the regular background check? Thanks...

It might.

Certainly, it will turn up whether or not you've been fingerprinted before, and if so, why you were fingerprinted.
