Is there a way I can find out if I have a criminal record somewhere in the United States (without paying a fee)?

One would think I would know. But I actually don't. I won't go into details but suffice it to say I might have one. Sounds odd I know but I just need to find out for sure.

I'm certain there is no warrant for my arrest! Of that I am certain.
I hate to be this open to complete strangers since it is a very embarrassing issue but while in the Army in 1992, I was arrested on a MILITARY BASE in CA for shoplifting. The case never went to court. It was handled through the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and I received a Field Grade Article 15. Would there be a record of this on police computers?
I'm asking because it will affect how I fill out job applications since I just retired from the Army.

If you do have one, the county in which the possible offense happened would be your best source of information. Call the Court house or the County Sheriff in that County... and ask
a) If there's a warrant out for your arrest; and,
b) If they have a record of a case in your name.
You don't need an entire rap sheet... but can get one through your state's Department of Justice, if needed. In CA you have to go to a local Law Enforcement agency and get LiveScan printed... the DOJ will then send you your rap sheet within a couple weeks.

Well you're in a tough spot. You could just contact your local police department and ask them if the would be willing to run your name and date of birth through their system. But, if you happen to have warrants out for your arrest - well, your caught! Wish you would've given more details.
