Question about having a charge expunged. Here's the scenario: Was given a summons to appear in court for shoplifting (misdemeanor). Go to court, was given an option to do a first time offender program where I plead no contest, do 50 hours community service, and the pending charge is dismissed. I was never arrested, only given a summons. Once the 50 hours are completed and the case is dismissed, does this mean I have to record of being charged since I was never actually arrested or charged? Secondly, if this means I still do have a charge, can it be expunged once it has been dismissed?
