Here is the situation - I was arrested in 1/98 for posession of marijuana (misdemeanor), I was then refered to diversion, which I completed. The charge was dismissed upon my completion of diversion, which was 10/99.
My question is: when asked if I have ever been convicted of any criminal offense should I say yes or no? After all I was charged with the misdeameanor but it was dismissed. I would assume that this does not count as a conviciton, but I want to keep my *** covered, since what I am applying for is within law enforcement; I am not sure how they would view my response if I said no.
Thanks in advance for the help!
