Two things that I can think of: 1. Call the lawyer who handled your case and ask him/her. May take a few days, but they generally keep files for about 10 years. 2. Do a judiciary case search for your state. Although, this will not work if the charges were expunged or the case is sealed. Hope this helps.

Since your name includes Ky and since you have many posts relating to Kentucky here 'ya go:

Try this:

Kentucky State Police: Frequently Asked Questions

If you are a Kentukian and links are not allowed call:

KENTUCKYKentucky State Police

Frankfort, KY 40601

(502) 227-8700

It costs $20 and should do no harm. If, when you receive it you cannot figure out if the charges listed are violations, misdemeanors or felonies you'll have to pay a bit to any lawyer to decipher it for you or ask on Avvo.

You need to know because any employment will ask and if you have old violations they are not likely to matter, but if you say "I have no record," and do, even of violations you will not be hired. Be very careful and very honest.

Most states have annullment or similar concepts whereby after x number of years you can petition to have the record expunged or annulled. It's worth doing but it is a cash cow. It cost me $450 to remove a $50 violation from over 30 years ago.

Welcome to America the land of the fee....

Your criminal background is a matter of public record - you should be able to go to the courthouse and get a copy for a reasonable fee. You will have to go and look up the case numbers then bring them to the clerk. The fee is usually based on the number of pages in the document and is a copying fee.

Good Luck
