Maybe officially. But here in the US arrests (not just convictions) are sometimes reported reported the local newspaper (“police blotter”). A search for person + town could find it. Also there are lots of scummy private companies that collect this info for background checks. Really scummy ones will offer to remove that arrest for a fee.
