So I recently had a case that was dismissed in meeting with the Prosecutor after video evidence showed me not being apart of a fight(charged with DOC, not arrested). I also recently received a job offer and in turn have to submit to a background check in which I have a question about. The background question states "have you been convicted, plead guilty or received deferment for a crime?" I wanted to check to make sure answering "no" would be appropriate or if I should contact my recruiter who works for the company to verify the correct course of action. I ask because I believe the charge will still appear, even as "dismissed," until I can get it expunged. I called the court and they said it wasn't even sent to the state, so I am just confused on what the best course of action is, thanks.
But you weren't convicted, didn't plead guilty, and didn't receive deferment for a crime, so you should be okay.

You are fine, you weren't even arrested so you wont even have an arrest record(assuming you haven't been before.)
