    Default Dismissed Charge Showing

    My question involves a background check in the State of: Illinois

    Ok here goes: I was pulled over and arrested for a city warrant (utility bill from civil. civil contempt) while I was arrested the search subsequent to the arrest they found my police belt with my extendable baton in the trunk of my car. I was a reserve police officer for a small town, strickly volunteer. I was booked, processed, and bonded out same hour. I receieved a letter from the states attorneys office the beginning of the next week that all charges were dismissed and that I wouldnt need to appear in court. Everything was fine after that until I was pulled over and over and over and everytime was asked if I had any weapons in the car which was odd. When i finally started asking why they thought I had weapons I was told that it shows up when they run my name that I have had a unlawful use of a weapon charge. I tried checking with the county i was arrested they have no record of the charge at all now? I never ordered or payed for an expungement or seal of the records but its been deleted. It also showed up when I applyed for a state license for perc card. I don't know how to clear this, and I don't know where to get any of the information. It seems like its hit or miss, the last 2 companies Ive worked for said they did a background/criminal check and neither have said anything. I'm at a loss, any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.

    For starters, is 217 your area code? It just happens to be mine. If so is it the same agency that keeps pulling you over? County, City, or University police?

    Yes thats my area code. The agency had pulled me over quite a bit after this incident from 2003-2004, I dont know if they made a note on the mtd or what happened or why its even on there anymore. They were a small municipal agency , however after all those things happened i changed my car plates to my parents name to avoid all the tickets.

    Well I'm not sure how to take it but I had background check done from 2 sources this week. One was for volunteer with the Red cross and one was with the Department of Corrections for employment. Neither revealed nor was I questioned further about the situation. (They were made aware). Maybe they finally got it removed or its just staying spotty. Really wierd but at least I didn't get punished for something that should have never happened.
