Question: When i was 17 i got caught stealing at wal-mart by the security guard. they took me to the back, got my id & fingerprint for the store records. i got a civil thingy in the mail that i had to pay. i never got a court date or anything like that. i wanted to know if this would show up on my background check because i am trying to get into the nursing program. i am 18 now and i wanted to know if it would be sealed and not viewable for the background check.

Answer: You were never arrested by law enforcement, so it should not appear on your GCIC. However, the case may still be submitted to the local prosecutor for prosecution.
