In November 2004, I was arrested and issued a citation. The charge was retail theft, concealing merchandise with the intent of depriving the merchandise, which was wrong. I did not agree with the charge, so plead not guilty. The officer took my finger print and released me. I received a notice of trial summary case from district court in a week. I went to court on the scheduled date, nobody from the store showed up. The officer advised that store dropped the charge. The judge ruled as NOT GUILTY.
I am preparing for citizenship application. I got a certified letter and disposition result from the district judge, they are in a sealed envelop. I can see from my own copy that it lists the description of the charge and disposition result (NG) , etc.
My question is if this is enough, do I need to include other supporting documentation together with my application form?
Will this incident play any negative impact on my citizenship application?
I also need to answer question "Why were you arrested, cited, detained or charged", there are only a couple of lines of space on the application form, is it sufficient to just say that "I was stopped on my way to the registar and was accused of concealing the merchandise with intention of depriving it."
Thank you for your information!
