"A Denver woman was cited Thursday for allegedly causing damage to a 7-Eleven store's microwave oven when she tried to heat a urine sample, authorities said. Police later found Sanchez about a half-mile away, at a health clinic where she was waiting to undergo a physical exam and urinalysis for a potential job, I reminded her that urine blew up where people prepare their food, she told me it was not real urine,” a police officer wrote in his report."

Rhetorical question(s)
May 7, 2018 2:21AM PDT

Does a prospective employer have a right to know about a candidate's criminal history? If "yes", is having been tried and convicted for such crimes the only evidence that should be used in making a decision about the person's suitability for the job? I would add that, IMO, there are some jobs for which this knowledge more important than for other reasons. I would also add that there could be mitigating factors involved depending on any substances that were discovered but it would be up to the employer to make hiring decisions regardless of reason.
