Long story short.. I'm Mexican and I got arrested in the USA (OH state) last week for ''Petty theft'' I got distracted in the store and put some stickers in my bag that I didn't pay for (I know this might sound like I did it intentionally.. but is not true, anyway) for my bad luck that policeman was a RACIST and took me to jail, they took pictures and fingerprints, I paid a bond, got out of jail and got an arraignment, the day of the arraignment the prosecutor talked to me and told me that she was going to dismiss the case.. when the Judge call my name he just told me that my case was dismissed and asked me to go to the cashier and pay like $75 for court fees.. I didn't even have to plead or anything, my question is.. is this going to affect me if I apply for a F-1 visa (student)? or should I get assist to get my case expunged before I apply for my visa?? Thank you in advance
