Finally getting my boyfriend to apply, and we've been wondering about this. He was arrested in the mid-80s in Manhattan for marijuana. His recollection was that he spent the night in jail and was released by the judge the next day, with a dismissal. I think the odds are low that that type of record has made it into the computerized files today, but I can't remember if there is a question about whether you've been arrested. Can anyone advise? Should he volunteer this info?
