I'm sure this gets asked quite a lot, but I have some questions regarding filling out the 8500-8. I was arrested in 2016 for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia,
I have since learned from mistake and haven't used since the incident.
Now while filling out the medical form I see it asks "any arrest(s) and/or conviction(s) involving driving while intoxicated by, while impaired by,
or while under the influence of alcohol or a drug - history of any arrest(s), and/or conviction(s), and/or administrative action(s) involving an offense(s) which resulted in the denial, suspension, cancellation, or revocation of driving privileges
or which resulted in attendance at an educational or a rehabilitation program".
Since it never involved a driving charge, do I still have to report it ? I'm just asking cause the case ended up being dropped, and I was found not guilty and just had to pay a fine. But I know since I was fingerprinted it's probably in the FBI database.
Thank you so much !
