Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

A few explanations surrounding Minor misdemeanor citation" (Crim. R. 4.1) - disorderly conduct in Ohio - I have been issued a ticket and there is opportunity to pay it off online at municipal court.

Will paying off the ticket result in a criminal record, or not? This implies it won't appear on a criminal background check.

2. Is this category eligible for expungement after six months?
