Re: Need help - our new employee got arrested a week ago

Some of the arrests are for driving without a license, criminal mischief, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and assault with bodily injury. Wow.

And the drug she was arrested for a few days ago is in the penalty group of hard drugs - cocaine, heroin, meth, etc.

What the heck is aggravated assault with a deadly weapon?
Based off of the information provided I think you should speak with whoever is in charge of HR to do a more extensive background check on new employees. I agreed with the majority, an arrest is not a conviction. These all sound like grounds for termination of employment but again, I suggest you speak with someone about implementing a new hire process. and possibly rewriting the handbook (if it's not already there).

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is exactly what it sounds like. The [former?] employee hit someone with a weapon deemed to be deadly, ie. pipe, bat, gun etc. Someone will come along and clarify more than I, soon.
