Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Oct 23, 2018
B.K. vs. Missouri State Highway Patrol
B.K. filed a petition to expunge his arrest record for passing a bad check. The Missouri State Highway Patrol objected, arguing B.K. had prior misdemeanor convictions and failed to provide the specific arrest date. The trial court granted the expungement, excluding the State's evidence of prior convictions. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the Fine Collection Center records were inadmissible under section 490.130 because the FCC is not a court, and that B.K. sufficiently identified the arrest date for expungement purposes.
