More details to this question:
I was never arrested but was given a summons to appear for petty larceny. Judge said she was dismissing misdemeanor. I was given 6 month probation, 25 hours community service and have to attend a class. I thought dismissing it meant it would not appear on my record. It is showing on a level 2 background check.
