What Do I Answer?

Card image cap

This should be an easy one to answer but I’m not sure what I’m required to say so…

About 2 years ago my daughter missed quite a bit of school due to medical issues and despite her school being aware and doing our best to work with them, I was told I would be charged with compulsory school attendance (truancy). Just me, not my husband/her father, which is bs, but unimportant. We live in NC.

Almost a year had passed, they passed her grade, and I didn’t hear anything. Then one day a cop showed up at my house looking for me but I was at work. I called him and agreed to turn myself in the next day. I met him at the jail, talked to the magistrate, and was released immediately with a court date. After several continuances for things that had nothing to do with me, the DA took one look at a letter from her doctor and dismissed the charge outright.

My question is just what would I have to answer if I’m asked if I have ever been arrested? Like on official paperwork or by the police? Even though the charges were dismissed would I have to say yes?

Thanks from this trouble making mom ⚖️
