Wait ... he pled guilty, and the case was dismissed????

If he has a conviction, he has to reveal it if asked. If he has NOT been convicted, he does not have to reveal the arrest.

If he pled guilty to a drug offense, took diversion, and the case was re-opened and then dismissed as a result of successful diversion, than he has no conviction.

The first thing he needs to do is find out (a) what he was arrested for or convicted of (the statute), and then, (2) seek to have it expunged or purged if possible.
