Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I live in New York State in the syracuse area, and I am trying to renew my city taxi license with syracuse and on the application it asks if I was ever charged with criminal charges.

And on my sherriffs background check there is one thing I am wondering if I should put the information to answer the question with.

The charge is: PL 22003 00 MISD

Date 12/12/94
