Marijuana Arrests and Convictions/ Expungements
Records of marijuana arrests and convictions are automatically destroyed two years after the arrest or conviction when the marijuana case involved simple possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana on school grounds or offering, giving away or transporting less than 28.5 grams of marijuana. Once the records have been destroyed, the person can deny the arrest and/or conviction. Also court records and drug diversion agency records are destroyed. Records cannot be destroyed however if the conviction is reviewable on appeal, a prison or jail term remains to be served, a fine remains unpaid, probation has not been completed or a bench warrant is outstanding.
