    Question Old Shoplifting Charge in West Virginia

    I was convicted of shoplifting in West Virginia 18 years ago when I was 20. The item I took was $5. I paid a $50 fine to the store (which is now out of business). I wasn't fingerprinted or taken to the police station, however, I was given a citation by the city police officer and had to pay $99 to the city. I would imagine that I have a record somewhere. I am considering changing jobs in the Finance Industry and was wondering if this would show up? If it could show up, is there any way to get this expunged since I haven't had any other arrests or convictions since this incident?

    Thank you

    West Virginia appears to require that a conviction be pardoned before the defendant is eligible for expungement.

    Thanks for the reply. How would I go about seeking a pardon? Is this something that is easily done?
