Is a misdemeanor arrest or conviction public record?

Yes. As soon as you are arrested, your name and charges become public record. Even if you are found not guilty or the case is dismissed, that information remains on your record unless you have it expunged. Most misdemeanor convictions are not expungeable and are public record.
