    Default Getting a DEA Registration Number With a Past Drug Offense

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY, federal

    Hello, I am a new physician and I am applying for for a DEA registration number and there is a question on the application that asks:
    "Has the applicant ever been convicted of a crime in connection with controlled substance (s) under state or federal law, or is any such action pending?"

    In 2000 I was arrested for possession of a controlled substance (misdemeanor - 220.03) which was reduced to NY Penal code 240.20 for which I plead guilty and paid a fine. I was never in trouble before and I had no other incidents. I was told it is a disorderly conduct violation and not a crime, so can I answer this question as no? I don't want to lie or omit anything but I was always told that this is a violation and not a crime in NY.
    Thank you in advance

    It appears that was clearly in connection with a controlled substance violation.

    But the charge was reduced to a disorderly conduct violation and is not considered a crime.

    The original charge was for the controlled substance even though it was plead down. They will be able to see both the arrest charge and the court disposition in the background check so I would not leave anything out that might surprise them.
