My question involves criminal law for the state of: Indiana
Will I have a record for the rest of my life for shoplifting merchandise from a supermarket for $167 or will the conversion charge be dropped after a specific time frame? Can I do community service or take a class to remove this charge from my public record? I work in the medical field and have been having a difficult time financially due to bankruptcy. Will this charge affect my finding work in the future?
Thank you in advance.
