Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Should a dismissed case be on my record?

Hello & Thanks,

I was arrested several years ago on a felony charge.

At the prelimany hearing the Judge dismissed the charge.

I recently did a background record check for employment and discovered this charge on my record.

Should an arrest without conviction appear on my record?

thanks for reading.
