Do i have a conviction record if I was arrested for public intoxication, jailed, fingerprinted and released the next day?

Answer by  Stan567 (417)

You have an arrest record, but you're missing the conviction part. Unless you went before a judge (or signed a ticket and paid a fine), you haven't been convicted. Sometimes these are ordinance violations, so it's possible that you could have just paid a fine, but it sounds like you were simply arrested. So, no, you probably weren't convicted.

If fingerprinted that clearly means that they have made a record of you. And even the smallest thing is on file of cops.
