Background check with domestic voilence felony charge
A friend's wife called police on him and they arrested him. There is a Domestic Voilence Felony charge on him. The case hasn't been filed yet. It can take up to a year for conviction to finalize. Case might be dropped or expunged by court. How does future employment background checks work in this case? How do they see Domestic Voilence charges?
Maybe he shouldn't beat his wife.
And maybe the friend should get some prison time and do some self reflect, obviously if the friend is really guilty
Yes, but could also be a false allegation. I was arrested on a false allegation during a bitter divorce and then later cleared in court. Many cities (including mine) have a mandatory arrest law so a vindictive partner can easily get you arrested and mess up for your life for a few months.
Even if you’re/he’s innocent... Domestic violence charges are tricky ... the cops don’t drop the charge just because the alleged victim wants to take it back ... it can only be cleared in court ....
Hmmm your friend huh
Lol always asking for a friend
Domestic violence can be both ways. Let us not judge too quickly
Lol
So, the friend should have called the police first and blame the wife?
The arrest will show up. He’s doomed.
you should find a new "friend"
If they are in the middle of the case it will most likely be denied until the case is resolved, esp for felonies.
Arrests are public. Assume it will show up. What the company does varies by company. Some don’t want to take chances with even alleged violent felons.
No office job is taking a chance on any body with violent history. If they hire him and he gets in a fight with a employee. Company can be sued.
I feel like he’s kinda fucked if that turns up. Maybe he should job hunt before it hits because they won’t likely do additional background checks for the duration of his employment. Could buy some time.
