    Default Sealing or Expunging Arrest Record With No Conviction

    In 2003, I found out by accident that there was a warrant out for my arrest.
    As it turned out, an ex-boyfriend has falsely filed a felony larceny police report in the state of Michigan, in an attempt to extort $1000 from me. I live in Ohio and did at the time of this event.

    I immediately went to Michigan Police on my own volition, to straighten this out. I was arrested and jailed for 4 hours--then I had a video arraignment and was released on my own recognizance. I had NEVER had any dealings with the law before for ANYTHING, and I am 50 years old.

    At the hearing, the prosecutor dismissed the case in the best interests of justice, and that was that...or so I thought.

    A few months ago, my employer found out about this and fired me, even though it was 4 years ago and I had been an award-winning employee since 2001, before this ever happened.

    Even though I was not guilty and therefore not convicted, the ARREST record alone has cost me my past job and got me thrown out of the running for a very lucrative job last year. What can be done to erase the arrest record?

    I was told tha in Michigan, you can only get a CONVICTION expinged...this makes no sense to e, that someone who actually DID do something wrong gets more chances than someone who DID NOT!! Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Look at this information on petitioning for the return of prints and destruction of your arrest card.
