Joseph was a 46 yr old prospect from CT with 2 dogs interested in our Belleview apartment. A Cedar One Team Member did the initial prescreening and scheduled his showing. Joseph mentioned a felony from 5 years ago involving a gun without a permit in his prescreening. Joseph spoke with a second Cedar One Team Member after that regarding his criminal history and she told him we would have to run the background for full determination.
He was declined when his background check came back with zero credit and multiple felonies:
• Assault Second Degree F – 9/2015
• Criminal Possession of Pistol Revolver F -- 6/2018
• Injury or Risk of Injury to Minor F – 11/2015
• Assault Second Degree F – 2/2015
• Criminal Possession of Pistol Revolver F – 7/2017
