    Default Will a Shoplifting Civil Demand Show Up on a Background Check

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: Louisiana

    Hey guys. I think I have a pretty simple question. I shoplifted, embarrassingly, two condoms from Wal-Mart when I was 17. I was stupid and was to scared to buy them (I know, its dumb). Well they caught me at the door and took down my information. No police were involved at any point. But 2 weeks later I got a letter from then demanding $200 or they would pursue charges on me. I'm now 24 and I have an absolutely spotless record. This has been my only negative interaction ever with security and never had a bad interaction with law enforcement. Well now that I've graduated college with a degree in Criminal Justice, I was pursuing a law enforcement career. I paid them the $200 immediately, which is probably against any legal experts advice, because I just wanted to be done with the situation. After I paid, I never heard anything from them again. I was wondering if this is something that will show up on a background check when the department I apply to does their research on me or any other way, or are these civil matters usually handled in house and only in Walmarts information?

    Civil Demand is just between you and wallyworld. It will not show on a background check.

    I was so scared they would be able to find it in some way, thanks for the speedy reply.

    It's possible it is reported to the NRTD but that isn't going to affect you unless you apply for a job with another major retailer. It's not going to show up in criminal background checks or most credit checks. It will age out of the NRTD in seven years.

    I actually held a job at best buy as a salesman for 2 years, just recently quit when I graduated. So it must not have been reported to NRTD?

    Or Best Buy overlooked it given the amount of time that had passed.
