Freaking out, worried my offer may get rescinded
So I recently received an offer for an internship set to start in may, but it requires a background check, which I was told is pretty extensive. My freshman year of college I received a Minor in possession charge,(alcohol) and got deferred disposition, but I never got around to getting it completely wiped from my record.
About a week ago, (2 weeks after I accepted the offer) I received a charge for public intoxication, and pleaded not guilty. I'm a junior now, and wasn't worried about my earlier charge being too much of an issue, but the repeat offense, as well as it happening so recently has me worried that my offer may get rescinded. The state I'm in considers both of these offenses to be class c misdemeanors, which are the equivalent of a parking ticket. I still haven't gone to sign off for my background check, but should I just ask the HR people if this is going cause my offer to be rescinded??? I think pending cases show up on a background check, but I'm freaking out right now so any advice/personal experience would be great for me.

You already have a thread on this where someone already answered your question. It's going to show up, seek legal advice.
you should def get a legal advice - i like this forum because you always get tough advice. In that spirit, this might be a big issue
Yeah you're fucked. Getting drunk in college is in no way acceptable. Start looking elsewhere.
Good thing you learned your lesson the first time... oh wait lol
Hey, I am in almost the exact same situation. Did you end getting the internship? Or was your offer rescinded?
I was fine. Never even came up
