Yes. If the question(s) asks if you "EVER" committed a crime/been arrested/convicted, the answer should be yes

If you had a felony conviction, you need to consult an attorney before submitting an application for citizenship through naturalization (I understand that it's not a simple "passport application", but application for citizenship).
