My question involves a background check in the State of: Arizona. I just got hired at a casino. They are going to do a background check, but they ask you if you have ever been charged or arrested for anything. Back in 2003, I was caught shoplifting at a grocery store. The cops were never notified, however I did have to sign some paper work, and pay a fine to the grocery store. Would that incident be on my record? Then, in 2004, just so happened that I was caught with a group of people doing cocaine in the parking lot of the casino I am applying for. Again, the police was never notified, signed some paperwork, and they let me go. Would that be on my record? Just wanted to know so that I can mentally prepare myself so I can have an explanation. Hopefully I won't have to explain at all if its not on there.
