My son who is 17 was charged with tresspassing, along with about 50 other kids some minor some over 18. What happened is that in school a rumor started that a fight was going to happen in a parking lot of a local building. All these kids went to watch. The fight never happened, nothing was damaged or nobody got hurt. The police showed up, and blocked all the kids in and gave them tresspassing charges. Well to try and make this shorter, we wind up paying the fine of $142.00 and now we are wondering if when he goes to fill out any application for jobs, college or finicial aid for college or any other thing that may come along, does he have to say yes he has been arrested before? We were told by some people that he would have to write yes, and then other people have told us no, it is only a summary offense and it will be no harm to him in the future and he should not have to write that he has been arrested. I am confused on the terms or severity of this? Please help me understand!
