I've been a green card holder for about 6 years and am planning to apply for citizenship soon. About 18 years ago I made the stupid mistake to try to shoplift an item less than $3 or $4 and was caught. That happened in Florida (I live now in another state). I was fined and paid it in monthly payments. I didn't have to appear in front of a judge/court.
On the N-400 form, section D, question 15 asks: "Have you ever committed a crime or offense for which you were not arrested?".
Is that incident consider a crime or offense? If so, do I need to get a copy of the police report? Suggestions and recommendations are appreciated.
Thank you
