Municipal and ordinance violations in Randolph County
City ordinance violations, the kind handled in a municipal court rather than the county circuit court, are often expungeable too. They carry the shorter one year waiting period that applies to misdemeanors and ordinance violations, and the ones punishable by jail time count toward your lifetime limit. A lot of people assume a city case is not a real record. It can still turn up on a background check.
RSMo § 610.140says the petition goes to the court where you were charged or found guilty. For a city ordinance violation that means the municipal court that handled your case, not the county circuit court where felony and state misdemeanor petitions go. If you have records in both, we work out the order and the right court before anything is filed. If you are not sure whether an old city ticket even counts, tell us what you remember and we will look it up.
Crime data for Randolph County
These are offenses reported to police, not convictions. Most people who end up with a Missouri record never appear in a number like this, and a reported offense says nothing about whether a particular record can be cleared. What decides that is the offense type and the waiting period: one year for a misdemeanor or ordinance violation, three years for a felony, counted from the day you finished the whole sentence.
