I need to rent an apartment but was arrested for domestic just two days ago . Will back ground check pick up an arrest?

I cannot speak to a specific type of background check, but normally arrests are public information that is printed in the newspaper and you should assume a background check will reveal this information. Regarding how to proceed with the criminal charge? You should request court appointed counsel or hire an attorney. The legal strategy you should take in the criminal matter will largely depend on the facts of your individual case.

It really is not possible to know what a back ground check will show until it is run. It depends on who does the check and how well they do it. It is entirely possible that it will show up but is not certain. The most important thing is to know when and where you are supposed to be in court. Do not miss court. Do not be late. Do not talk about the facts of the incident with anyone other than your attorney. First time misdemeanor domestic batter is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in the county jail. Additionally it can have serious collateral consequences. Make sure you get the legal assistance you need.
