Case Study -
Federal and State Criminal Convictions For Alcohol Related Convictions
The Issue:
A Housing Authority agency was considering the hiring of an individual, and requested that a background check be performed. The Housing Authority administration felt that they needed more information, in order to make an informed hiring decision.
This particular individual, from a very young age, had developed a record of, alcohol related, repeat offender, misdemeanor convictions. The potential employer was eager to learn if this behavior had continued, or if the individual had taken the necessary steps to eliminate this undesirable cycle of behavior.
The Action Taken by Nation Search:
Nation Search performed a full comprehensive criminal screening. This screening consisted of, Instant Individual State, motor vehicle, sex offender registry search, SSN trace, and State DOC (Dept. of Corrections) search, and Federal criminal search.
The Conclusion:
Nation Search's investigation affirmed that the applicant did, indeed, have a history of unlawful acts, involving liquor. The research divulged that this potential employee had been charged with no less than 17 misdemeanor, alcohol related charges, and plead guilty to 14, during the past 7 year period we were investigating.
The charges ranged from disorderly conduct and unlawful liquor acts, under 21 liquor in body, liquor in vehicle passenger possession, at least 6 counts of unlawful possession of alcohol by minor, unlawful sale/supply of alcohol...leading to obstruction of justice, driving while license suspended and domestic violence charges.
No further information has been updated on this individual since 2009. No information is available as to whether this company decided to take a chance on this individual. NationSearch.com provided them with the information they needed in order to make this difficult decision.
