A: I would need more information to answer your question so that I could look up his case information to see what happened with it. Do you have the cause number? If not, I might be able to look it up with your son’s name and date of birth.

A: Not sure what you mean by persona non grata, it would be illegal for a court to tell him he is banned from coming into the state. If you could provide more information such as a name and dob to look up the case. If the case is closed and the time frame has been met he may be eligible for an expungement.
