Will my past history sheet come up if I apply at other departments?

I applied to the Orange County Sheriffs department a day before I was deployed to Iraq one year ago. It was the first day of the employment process. On the sheet of paper they give you before you take the test, I put down that I sold drugs for about a week over 5 years ago. As a result they denied me. My question is will this come up if I apply at other departments?

Well I don't know about all department but a friend of mine applied to one department and was dishonest about smoking drugs but wound up telling the truth anyway. ofcourse he was DQ and when he went to apply to another agency they had that information, but he was truthful about this time. He made it in.
