My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
I was arrested for Public Intoxication (18.2-388) this past year. I went to court in July, agreed to do Community Service, filed all the paper work with VASAP that same day. Turned in everything including my 25 hours by September. I recently found out that I was still convicted of this charge (and it also says "Guilty" online).
I did not show up to my court date in November since I was told by the Judge that I wouldn't have to if I was completed everything by then. This charge was out of my mind since I no longer live in the area and completed my Community Service. Aside from that, I completely forgot about the charge until now due to health problems that have been taking up most of my time outside of my job. I have called the VASAP but their office has been closed for the Holiday. I have not gotten any communication from them since they received my initial paperwork.
Is there anything I can do to get this corrected on my record? I'm a recent graduate with a job, but want to apply to graduate school in the near future. I don't want to have this charge on my criminal record, since it may hurt my chances of getting into grad school or getting a job later in life.
Thank you for your advice.
