I was arrested 5 years ago in CT and released on a misdemeanor drug charge (<1oz of marijuana) in which a guy at my house had. We were both arrested and I was told I was free to go after a bail amount. Ends up I was charged with the posession anyway, so now I have this charge as guilty on my record, since I never showed up for a court date I didn't know I had. I suppose since I paid a fine I should have known, but then again, it's not as though getting arrested is something you are taught about. The police even told me the guy I was with admitted the pot was his!
So my question is..
A: How do I get this off my record, since the guy obviously admitted it was his pot and I was arrested until they found this out?
or..
B: Does this get expunged after a certain amount of time, as I have just lost a very nice job at a bank because of this (sole) entry on my record.
