Re: felony on record

What you seem to have is a criminal record for an arrest that was thrown out by the court. A record for an arrest always appears but on the same line it will have a disposition that it was dismissed. I won't see why that this would be an obstacle since you do not have a conviction.

I would need more information on this.

I was around in 1970, and I would think that this arrest could have been sealed to prevent this problem.
