What Offenses Can Be Expunged?

Most nonviolent misdemeanor convictions can be expunged under Mississippi law with variations for first-time and repeat offenders. Expungements for DUI, however, have their own set of specific rules which must be followed before you will be eligible.

Both misdemeanor and felony arrests may be expunged if:

• Your case was non-adjudicated and dismissed
• Your case did not lead to formal charges within one year
• You were acquitted
• Your case was settled through a pre-trial diversion program

Only certain felony convictions are expungable, such as those for drug possession, shoplifting, larceny, writing bad checks, and a few others. Serious felonies such as violent crimes and sex crimes cannot be expunged.
