I was arrested for burglary although didn't actually commit burglary. My lawyer has been talking with the DA and has said I have one of two option. I can either go to trial (lots more money) but there's a 90% chance I'll win. Or I can get the charge dropped to a county ordinance disorderly conduct, pay a $100 fine, and court costs ($150). My question is if I take the second option, and I fill out a criminal background check will it show up as burglary? Or a County Ordinance? Or at all? What should I do?
What I really want to know is if someone runs a background check on me (like an apartment community), will it show up as burglary, disorderly conduct, or not at all, or other?

If you have been arrested and charged, it has been recorded. If you take the plea, it will show up as a gulity to disorderly conduct charge. If you go to court and win, as in are found innocent, it will not be put in a criminal record. There will be an arrest record, but this is not a part of a criminal record check.

It will show up as Disorderly Conduct; the charge you plead to.

Plead No Contest, to the disorderly. And after six months if you behave(no contact with the law), they will take it off your record

It would show up as what ever you plead to.
