Hi,

I recently fell in trap of a sting operation by local police. They gave me a citation for misdemeanor i.e solicitation of prostitute. They also took my picture and fingerprint and released me. I did not spend any time in jail. Next morning I called DA's office and she told me that there was not enough evidence and the case is dismissed.

So was I arrested or just cited and then the case dismissed or was I arrested ? I am confused when immigration asks me the question if I was arrested or not should I say "YES" or "NO".

Regards,

Sam
 
Arrested

You were arrested. Not all arrest end with a person being placed in jail. They probably released you on your own recognicense.
