My boyfriend was arrested for possession of meth in 4/06 in Oregon.
He went through treatment and drug court successfully. At his graduation, they told him his charge was "dismissed" and he had no other arrests or other record of any kind.
Now, we are looking into a process called "expungement" that, I guess, is supposed to wipe the arrest off his record but it takes about 4+ months from what we've heard.
He's sober now and is desperately looking for work (he was a professional before, but this has ruined him.)
With the above facts, what would a current general employment criminal background check show? What about after the expungement? This is all exclusive to Multnomah County, Oregon... I tried purchasing a background check from online but you needed to be an employer to get it. What can he do to get his record clean again?
