Can a Summary Harrassment charge affect future employment background checks?
When I was 19 I through a party when my parents were out of town. Everything was going great. Then I hear this banging noise and a girl crying. I knocked on the bathroom door this girl who I didn’t know opened up. Her boyfriend was beating on her.. bad.. They were fighting over she smoked all his Crack Cocaine. I did not know there was drug use going on other than alcohol. I kicked him out and drove her home. When she got home her parents were obviously very upset and called the police. 5am in the morning the police kick down my door and haul everyone 18 and over to jail. 30 days later I get out of jail and go to court. I pleaded innocent, but my Attorney told me to plead down to a lesser charge of Summary harrassment. Initial charge was aggrevated assault. He said she could get on the stand and start crying and that could be bad for everyone. So the man who beat her got 90 days in jail and I pleaded guilty to Summary harrassment. Can this interfere with future job employment?
