Hi all.
I read other posts about this topic, but my situation is a little bit different. I was arrested and booked about 6 months ago for Disorderly Conduct (Class C Misdemeanor). I was in a packed bar (only had 3 beers about 5 hours earlier in the night so I obviously wasn't intoxicated) and the next thing I know 2 cops are pushing me out the door. I think they had mistaken me for someone else that may have bumped into them (like I said, bar was shoulder to shoulder packed), but who knows now. Anyways, I requested a field sobriety test, blood test, breathalyzer, etc. (you name it) and they refused to give me any PLUS, at the time, I wasn't even told what I was being arrested for and was put in the back of a squad car (with a dude arrested on drug charges) in front of a lot of people I know (pretty damn embarrassing). So, I spent the night in jail, which was horrible, especially stone cold sober. Long story short, I ended up getting the charge dismissed and expunged from state and local records (any charge stays permanently on your national record regardless if it was dismissed) and was only in the courtroom less than 10 minutes.
I don't know how (or if) to answer the last question on the background info "Are you currently under charge or have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, other than minor traffic violations?"
The quick answer to these questions is no; however, the next sub-section to this question seems contradictory in regards to this. If yes, enter a brief explanation of the charge(s), the date(s) of the charge(s), current status, and outcomes.
"ADEA AADSAS requires you to report any convictions. You may also be required to report one or more of the following types of records directly to your designated dental school with details about the judgments or disciplines:
· Misdemeanor convictions
· Arrests for misdemeanors and felonies
· Adjudication withheld
· Nolo contendere
· Plea bargain"
What are your thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.
