Arrest Charge
The charge(s) covered by this order was not dismissed or nolle prossed because of successful completion of the Pre-Trial Intervention Program, Traffic Education Program, Alcohol Education Program, conditional discharge, or any other statutorily authorized diversion program operated by a solicitor's office. The dismissal did not occur at a preliminary hearing and the accused does not have charges pending in summary court and a court of general sessions that arise out of the same course of events.

I find that §17-22-950 has been complied with as follows (check one):

The defendant was fingerprinted.

The defendant was not fingerprinted. The defendant has made application to the summary court for expungement pursuant to §17-22-950(B).
