Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

The application asks- Have you ever committed a crime, been convicted of, plead guilty to, had adjudication withheld or plead no contest to a crime crime means felonies and misdemeanors including vehicular misdemeanors and felonies or been released from prison? Prison includes time spent in city and county jails as well as local, state and federal prisons. I was arrested but am out on bond with no trial date. State charges pending via warrant. As of this date the State has brought no further prosecution. I was in jail for a short time while awaiting a bond hearing but I am thinking they are referring to time in prison/jail as it relates to a conviction. Is that correct would I be able to answer no? I did not commit the crime I am accused of am working to get the charges dropped.

The employer decides what is the correct answer. They may have a different opinion of what applicants should disclose. Most likely, they would find pending charges to be very important to their decision.
