My question involves a background check in the State of: pa
I was recently accused of retail theft of the amount $7.25. I have not plead guilty or not guilty yet. If I plead guilty will it show up on my background check? I am a nurse and concerned if I apply for another position this will show up? Also would it be wise to plead not guilty and have a hearing and try to reduce the offense to disorderly conduct? Should I get a lawyer? I have no prior offenses. This would be my first. It was a stupid mistake and I am already regretting and vowing never to do this again.
