Case Study - County Conviction for 2nd Degree Assault...Drugging Victim
The Issue:
A Car Dealership was performing their due diligence, with regards to an applicant. They wanted more information on the prospective employee.
Nation Search was engaged to assist the Dealership in obtaining background information on this individual, to enable them to make a more informed hiring decision.
The Action Taken by Nation Search:
Nation Search performed a comprehensive background search, consisting of SSN trace, County and Federal Criminal search, State Department of Corrections (DOC) search, driving history, and sex offender search.
The Conclusion:
The single county search turned up court documents showing that the applicant does have a criminal background record. He had an incident in 2007, in which he was charged with 4 criminal acts: criminal attempt, intimidating witness/victim, knowingly reckless child abuse..no injury, and assault 2..drugging victim. The applicant plead guilty to Assault in the 2nd degree...Drugging a Victim, which is a felony conviction. In pleading guilty to the felony charge, the other charges, which were misdemeanors, were dismissed.
In addition, this applicant had a spotty record of misdemeanor charges during the 7 year period Nation Search investigated, including, disturbing the peace, driving without a valid driver's license, and driving while under the influence.
These convictions were reported to the client, along with the felony conviction, and a timeline, of occurrences. Thus enabling the potential employer to make a much more informed hiring decision that would have otherwise been possible.
