Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona
I need to apply for my finger print clearance card, which is required to get in a nursing program. I got a marijuana possession charge about 7 years ago and completed a diversion program for it. I live in the State of Arizona where "Possession, use or sale of marijuana, dangerous drugs or narcotic drugs... precludes the person from receiving a fingerprint clearance card". Does this mean I'll be rejected even if I completed the diversion program?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If you successfully completed the diversion program, the charge was dismissed and there in no conviction on your record. If the question asks if you have ever been "charged" with an offense, you will have to answer in the affirmative. If you successfully completed the diversion program, you have not been convicted.
