It appears that they were 1) Charged, then 2) Never showed up to court, and 3) Probably have a bench warrant.

If there are no further notations in the past 8 years, the case was probably dismissed. If there was a conviction at trial or a guilty plea, that should show up in the background check. Since it does not, either the company running the background checks is unreliable or there was no conviction.
