Well, as luck would have it I was arrested and charged with third-degree assault (the least serious degree, but assault no less). The allegation is by a bouncer. I maintain my complete innocence, and it was I who was assaulted. I could/did not even defend myself. However, that is for the legal system to decide, so please leave that to them.
My question is - When do i need to bring this up to my residency program? My Desk Appearance Ticket scheduled my appearance for late May, which is pretty far away. I'm told theres a good chance it will be dismissed so i dont want to jump the gun and scare them now, but theres also a good chance it can proceed to a trial.
My program's background check has already come back clean, and there were no questions about just arrests. I can't find any written instructions about timing of reporting these kinds of things to my program.
Any advice?
Edit: Already lawyer'd up guys. Lawyer advised me to read into my program's handbook, which i haven't had any luck finding.
