: I was arrested for the retail theft in PA in August 2002. I went to the court in October 2002. I plead guilty for the DC and had "retail theft" withdrawn. Then I talked to the court clerk to have it expunge. I submitted the paperwork to them. Now I just received back from them that it was denied. They said it is because I plead guilty to DC to have the original charge withdrawn.

: 1. What should I do? Can I do anything to expunge this record? I would like to have the arrest record expunged.

: 2. I did wrong only one time. Do I have to have this arrest record for my whole life?

: 3. If it cannot be expunged. In the future, when I applied for the job, do I need to say that I was convicted for the crime? Or I just say no?

: 4. Now I am confused. Officer said that DC would not hurt me. But now the arrest record is hurting me. What does it mean? Arrest record will show up anytime I apply to the job or not? Will it show up in background check?
