* Arrests or prosecution that did not lead to a conviction;
* A first conviction for drunkenness, simple assault, speeding, minor traffic violations, affray, or disturbance of the peace;
* Misdemeanors where the date of conviction or the end of any period of incarceration was more than five years ago, provided that there have been no subsequent convictions within those five years;
