Youthful Offender Expungement Still Showing Up (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Fri, 25 May 2007 10:27:00 GMT

In upstate NY, when I was 17 (2001), I received a DWI and Possession of Marijuana charge. Upon turning 18 this was to be expunged from my record.

At 19 I began a summer job at the bank in VA(where I go to college), where after working for a month the youthful offender charges showed up on my record and I was temporarily removed. I obtained a letter from the courts showing this was to be expunged and resumed my job with ease....

I recently received a public intoxication here in Richmond, Virginia and my previous charges came up at court. The judge was aware that typically these are expunged and he was not sure why they showed up. Never the less, my previous record still exists and it is showing up.

If they are expunged why are they still coming up? Was NY slow to process things or is there some error? I am starting graduate school soon, but am concerned about the previous charges showing up when I begin my career. What choices or possibilities do I have to certify that these records are completely expunged?

Thank you for your help.

  • Have you checked your record to see what is actually on it? If you're certain the charge is improperly showing up on your official state criminal record, you may be able to have a correction submitted by the court clerk's office of the court where you were charged. That would be the cheapest and easiest solution, if its available.
