Reply #48: The guy who runs the station... [View All]

...told my son on the first day of his employment that he told one of the cops who comes regularly who he was hiring and the cop said he was A-OK. My son told his bio mom that the police chief came in on his first day of employment and joked around with him that he remembered following him around outside after curfew many years ago. My son was never asked to sign any pre-employment papers nor did any of the paperwork say that the company would run a formal background or criminal check. The application never even asked if he had ever been arrested. I asked him about this before he was hired because he had feared that the drug charge would haunt him all his life.

This is a small town of less than 6500 people and the minority population is way below average for Ohio. I imagine some of the cops in town remember who he is.
