I also was arrested for shoplifting in DC, unfortunately I was over the age of 21. The items were worth about $200. I was charged with theft and made to perform community service and was entered into a deferrment program. That was my first and only offense and it has been over 5 years since the incident. My questios are 1 will this stay on my record, 2 will it disqualify me from getting jobs, and 3 can I get it expunged since I have completed the program and I have not commited any crimes since that time?
