Criminal Background Check Question.

I'm 24. When I was 16 I was charged with criminal trespassing and malicious mischief. Long story but it's not how it sounds .The officer only wrote me up because he legally had to at that point (his words). The court worked with me and told me that if I followed their requirements that when I turned 18 it would be clear from my record. But getting a driving job requires a federal background check right? Are these charges going to show up when my background check is being done? I had an MIP for when I was 16 as well . I can't quite remember but I believe that was also supposed to be cleared from my record.

 

They're already in the process of doing my background check and I didn't tell them about it because I didn't think it mattered . Should I call my recruiter and tell her?

 

Oh man. I screwed up bad. I won't even be surprised if they tell me I'm done at this point. She specifically asked me yesterday if there was anything else she needed to know and I told her no . I genuinely thought my record was clean now.

 

Okay... I thought I was in the clear. They told me that when I turned 18 my record would be completely clean because I followed all of their requests to the t. Learned my lesson I guess. I'll just be sure to tell the next company I apply for.

 

That's why I didn't say anything in the first place. They told me my records would be sealed when I turned 18. I can't make it into an office in person until Monday unless I call in sick at my current job.
