I just learned yesterday that employers can no longer use a generalized question like "Have you ever been convicted of a felony" It now has to be a theft related felony I guess. But this is Ohio, Arkansas may be different.

But when your potential employers do criminal background check on you, they will know the truth regardless of how they ask on the applications.
