A: Yes. This is a matter of public record. You can go to the Clerk of Court in the county where the offender was ordered by the court to be placed on probation. The Clerk will be able to look up the individual's name, offense, case disposition, and any other specifics. You can also request a copy of the case file, judgment, and any orders associated with the matter.
A: Yes. Most criminal files are public records maintained by the clerk of court in any North Carolina County. The clerk's office can provide case specifics about convictions, punishments and probation. You can also pay for a copy of a criminal file.
