What is the name of your state? FL
Hi
5 years ago I had a large party (about 120 people). The police came due to a noise complaint and the part goers freaked out and just dropped their "stuff" and left. Being the home owner I was liable. I was arrested with the possibility of 5 felony charges. I hired an attorney who got depositions from several people there saying that they did niot see me doing any drugs, which I wasn't. Just a bad idea having people I did not know in my home.
In any event the charges were "dropped and abandoned". I never went to court, saw a jude or anything. My question is this...when I filled out my application for Fl real Estate license it asks if you have ever been found guilty of, covicted of a crime, entered a plea of no contest or had adjudication withheld. I answered no to this since the charges were dropped and nothing ever happened to me just an arrest record. I had to give my fingerprints and all for a background check to the state of Florida. They took about 3 weeks to do the check and I was approved to sit for the state test. I passed the test but have still not received the actual license. Can they deny me the license because I answered no? I answered according to the question since I never was charged with anything just arrested. Does being arested mean I had to answer yes to one of those questions or am I safe? thanks so much adn sorry for the long drawn out question!
