You need to consult with an attorney. This is not a private forum, and you should not be posting sensitive information here.

Generally, an arrest that long ago will have no impact upon eligibility to apply to become a naturalized citizen, just as it apparently had no impact upon your success in becoming a Permanent Resident about twelve years later. It would be wise for you to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the details about that arrest and about your history since then, could advise about naturalization eligibility and could offer legal representation for the application process.
