My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: ohio
Back in September I made a poor decision to shoplift a shirt, and was arrested with a misdemeanor theft charge. The charge was reduced to Disorderly Conduct and I paid out the fine. I have just accepted a new job in the Securities Industry and will be required to be fingerprinted and pass a FINRA Background check. It is my understanding that a misdemeanor theft charge would prevent me from being able to enter this industry. My question is, since the charge was reduced to Disorderly Conduct, is it likely that I will pass the check? Assuming the application asks me to list all charges ( it just convictions), would I have to list both the theft and disorderly conduct charges or can I safely list just Disorderly Conduct ?
