Check with the agency that arrested you or the court that
processed the charges. It will be in their files even if the
services you used cannot find it.

The problem with answering "no" on job applications when they
ask about arrests or convictions is that you can't know what
type of check they will do on you. If they use a commercial
service commonly used by the public, they will likely come up
with the same information you did. However, if they check with
police agencies that were responsible for the city/county that
you lived in and/or were arrested in, they will find it even if
the commercial service you used did not locate the arrest.
