Q: I am a Canadian and I tried crossing the border into the US and after finger printing, security asked me about
an incident from 1978 in which I was detained in Omaha, Nebraska and the following day I was released with no charges, not arrested, they gave me no paperwork. Now customs are asking for paperwork to show there were no arrest or charges. I googled my name and shows no arrests ever, how do I get some sort of paperwork to prove my innocence, I need to go back to the states for work asap, any advice?
A:
Have you tried obtaining a copy of your criminal history report?

If you need more info than the basic background report, there is a "help section" on the above website that tells you how to request the more detailed records through the Nebraska State Patrol. This may be the info that customs may need.
