you do not want a criminal record. you need to have the charges dismissed and the arrest expunged. you can then answer that you have never been arrested. we have had good fortune winning these cases. please call if we can help. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600

It depends on the Municipal Prosecutor. find a local ordinance violation like failure to dipsose of garbage, or littering or somthing else that you can offer to plead to in order to avoid the criminal penalty. If you cannot make a deal with the prosecutor, ask for an adjournment so you can ire an attorney.
