Can you inquire of Mr. George about his arrest for stealing and entry of a plea of guilty while in college or law school. Also if he undertook to get this record expunged or it was erased by operation of law?
The comment about Mr. George's arrest is a mistaken Identity. THere were two Robert George's living in Joplin at the same time. Robert George from Mt. Vernon has not been arrested for stealing.
