Looks like it was a DA reject and no charges were ever filed as a result of an arrest. What you may want to consider is attempting to get a finding of "factual innocense.". You should consult a qualifies criminal defense attorney in or near your area. Most attorneys offer FREE consultaions. These motions are not easy so you must go into something like this with realistic expectations. I wish you well. David Wallin

It means that your case was not filed by the DA and your arrest is now deemed to be a detention only. Essentially, it's saying you were not arrested. That entry will stay on your record indefinitely unless you get an order to seal and destroy those records under a petition for factual innocence (Penal Code section 851.8)
