QUESTION
How do I get the charge removed from my record, or how do I get the dismissal on the record even though the county court has no record of it?
Asked on Feb 13th, 2013 on Expungements - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was accused of domestic violence and taken into police custody overnight. The following day the judge dismissed the case. Now during a background check with the State Police, it is showing up as a charge/arrest only. I contacted the county courthouse and they do not even have a record of the charge/arrest or the subsequent dismissal.

There is a way to have an arrest converted to a detention. It involves getting the police agency or DA to agree to factual innocence.

Arrest records actually mean nothing as the are an accusation, not a conviction. See an attorney it it matters enough to you to pay the fees necessary to attempt to remove it.
