Sup /adv/
2 months ago I was arrested on a class B - misdemeanor AI(public intoxication). It was my first only time being in any trouble whatsoever. I spent the night in jail and a week later got my court date waived and now all I'm to do is pay a fine to the county clerk.
Fast forward to today, I live in the same state but in a different city and I'm applying for a job as a patient transporter at a hospital. As you can probably guess I'm worried about them running a BG check and seeing my AI charge.
On the application, it asks "Have you ever been convicted of (or have a pending conviction) of a crime?" Then it goes on to say "The term crime includes misdemeanors/felonies but not minor traffic infractions, it DOES include crimes such as DUI, driving w suspended license, leaving scene of crime, passing bad checks, assault, domestic violence, reckless driving, ect)
So basically here's the thing: I know I've been charged but I haven't been convicted yet, since I have NOT payed the fine yet, if I believe correctly. So does this mean the AI charge will not come up on a BG check yet? Or do "pending convictions" still come up?
If I check the "yes" box they will giv ean opportunity to explain the conviction in a drop box below.
For any other job I wouldn't care if the employers find out, because it's not a huge deal I know, but, and I know this is gay/childish whatever, my mom works in the same hospital and she doesn't know about my AI charge and I really don't want her to find out about it if by chance I'm not hired because of it and she goes asking why or an employee shoots off there mouth about it to her. It would break her heart and I really want to avoid that situation.
So /adv/ if I check the "no" box and they run a BG check, will my record show my public intoxication, even though I haven't been to court or payed the fine yet? And if I check "yes" and explain it, will my mom find out about it through the grapevine?
Gotta finish the application tonight.

I'm not a scientist, but I think public intoxication wont harm your chances, since they're definitely looking more for something like a DUI or something more serious. Honestly no one would give a fuck about a public intoxication charge, almost everyones been there before. Three times myself, and I work in a hospital now.

Like I said I know it's not a big deal, but really I'm just wanting to know if it will be on my record or not, and, if my mother will be able to find out. Like if I don't get the job and she asks HR why not, could they tell about about the charge?
