Often, to fill positions, they run through a quick background check, and if you're okay, then they hire you, and perform a more complete check that could take months.

That being said, since the dude was arrested at least once in TX for discharging a weapon within city limits, and apparently had other issues as in 2004, while living in Seattle, he shot out the tires of a car parked in front of his house. This crap could have easily been verified with LE, especially during any background check.
