You guys have no idea. I could write a friggin book about the people I had to deal with. Here's another good one. It's a policy in that state that you can't hire someone who has been convicted of a midemeanor in the last 5 years or a felony in the past 10 years. Every application we process, I would run a criminal background check on. So this guy comes in, dressed in a nice suit, very well spoken. Applies for a management position at for the hotel/conference centre on the property. I interview him, great candidate, send him over to interview with the manager at the conference centre and it all goes swimmingly. So he comes back and I tell him I'll be running his background check and I'll be in touch
There is a part on the application where you can state if you've been convicted. He said he had no criminal history. I think most times people don't think we actually run them, but we do.
So I run his name through this system and then the printer starts going crazy. Pages upon pages of history on this guy. And when we get a hit on a criminal history, it's illegal to tell them over the phone. You must bring them back into the office and tell them in person. So it turns out that he had a whole laundry list of offenses, but the most interesting were 17 arrests for prostitution and 5 of them as a woman.
But he's was wanted in 3 other states for sex offenses relating to his prostitution antics.
So the police had to call the FBI. The FBI call my office and they're going to set up a sting operation because they've been after this guy for months. Next thing you know it's like a fucking movie scene. Black Lincolns in the parking lots, the windows all blacked out. They pop open the trunk of one of the cars and it's a like a fucking candy store of arsenal. So we had it set up that the guy thought he was being called into a second interview at the conference centre. Meanwhile my little office was the FBI command post. And I will never forget the FBI guy who came in with his huge gun to tell me how it was all going to go down. He was built like you wouldn't believe and he was wearing a tight black t-shirt that said "I run with scissors"
we got word that the dude arrived for the interview, all the undercovers were in place, and then they took him down with a helluva lot of force. Blacked out lincolns all over the place. That day rocked.
