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?
Similar events from the 60's and 70' have appeared in GE interviews. As others have said, best to be honest if asked in the interview and have paperwork proving the dismissal.
