I see a lot of "yes" replies, however,
"If there was no fine, no plea, no imposition of punishment or exhoneration by a court then there IS NO RECORD because NOTHING HAPPENED."
EDIT>>>>>>>>>>>>
My apologies, but I am "partially" wrong, not "simply" wrong, as John S said. And as he said " There will be a record OF THE ARREST. There will not be a record of a conviction in the absence of a conviction." .

JT is simply wrong, and the people saying "yes" are right. (JT's source is a google answer concerning a person arrested as a juvenile, and the answer there is not right in all states either.) There will be a record OF THE ARREST. There will not be a record of a conviction in the absence of a conviction. In some states, in some circumstances, you can have an arrest record removed. In California that takes proof of actual innocence, not just a failure to file or convict.

Even if your friend is proved not guilty in court and so actually won't have a criminal record. The record of his arrest will be kept on the Police intelligence database. His DNA will also be kept and is not destroyed. He will still have a CRO number, although it will not effect him for employment purposes and he will still be classed as having no previous convictions.
I know it seems to be a bit of a contradiction, 'you won't have a criminal record, but you will still have a CRO number'. The fact is once you have fingerprints and DNA taken, a CRO number is automatically generated and it then stays with you until your death.

In the U.K. if you are arrested, charged, fingerprinted and dna taken and then sent to court and found 'guilty' by the court, then that person will have a police record and it will be recorded on the Police National Computer (PNC). If the person is ultimately charged and found 'not guilty' in court, then that person will NOT have a police record.

OK if he got arrested booked and fingerprinted, yes he will have a record. Seem like someone needs to go to anger management because it's cheaper than what will happen if the threat goes thru.

A police record is simply that. A record of police interaction.

Yes he will have a record, however if he is a minor it can be sealed. If he is between 15 and 19 look into the youth full offender act.

He will have a record if he was arrested for anything. As stated, as a minor, the record will be sealed when he reaches adulthood.

Anyone who has been arrested has a police record.

If he has been charged, goes to court, and gets a not guilty then no. or thou ill be surprised if it gets to court in the first place.
If he pleads guilty , then definately yes.
Due to are PC society we live in , if its racial, then he stands no chance!
However, if the charges are dropped through lack of evidence(which i think will happen)then no.
Your mate must have upset pc plodd big time to get nicked for this!
