Class completed, forms filled out, passport photos and money in hand and I am off to the Sheriff's office to turn it all in. Now, I had an arrest back in 91 for driving under suspension (canceled insurance in a divorce, got new insurance and when the state sent a letter that my license would be revoked unless I provided proof, it went to the ex and she never sent it to me, got pulled over and got arrested for DUS. Really no big deal), so, I asked the officer to look on the computer and see if he could get the dates for me, well, he found nothing, but I put it on the app anyhow, better safe, now to the real story. He finds a charge of "making a threatening phone call" dated 96, he has the case number, but no information on disposition. Here is the weird part, it has my name, my DOB, but Kim's SSN. So we look on OSCN, nothing, I get home and ask Kim if she remembers anything about this, she has no clue. So, I call the county clerks office with the case number and not only is there nothing in the computer, she calls down to the basement for records, and they have nothing. The Oklahoma County Sheriffs office shows the charge, but has no other information about it. Long story short, I put the information I did have on my permit application so when the OSBI does there background search, they will at least see I was not trying to hide anything.
My advice, when you turn in your paperwork, check OSCN first, and ask the officer to check the computer for any surprises. This one really caught me by surprise. Hopefully in 90 days, all of this will be just a glitch in the system, and I get my permit.
