Yes, it appears from what I have read that this charge can indeed be expunged.  It is also important to remember to expunge the arrest record as well.  You can not make an application until such time as your probation has ended and you may have to wait at least two years from the end date as per the current law.  I would double check, though, with an attorney in your area that handles expungement cases on a regular basis.  And make sure that after the expungement process is completed you run a background check on yourself.  You can never be sure that the records are expungedunless you do.  And remember that expungeing the plea is not the same as expungeing the arrest record.  They need to be treated separately. Good luck.
