Bank of America Background Check Form

I am filling out a background check form for a company(BofA) that recently gave me a job offer. I was arrested in 2016 and charged with: 01 - 124.401(5) - POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE - MARIJUANA 1ST OFFENSE 02 - 124.414 - POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA

At pretrial my lawyer was able to get me to do drug tests to dismiss the case and I successfully passed all of them and got the case dismissed.

In my disposition this is what it says:

The Defendant is charged with: 01 - 124.401(5) - POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE - MARIJUANA 1ST OFFENSE 02 - 124.414 - POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA

Upon motion of the Plaintiff. Pursuant to a Plea agreement.

CASE DISMISSED


I am unsure how I should answer the following questions: 1. Are you awaiting trial for or have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense? 2. Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense, pleaded no contest to charges or agreed to enter in a pre-trial diversion or similar program in lieu of a criminal prosecution for any crime? 3. Have you accepted a disposition of adjudication withheld on any criminal charge?

I am assuming yes for all 3 questions however I am unsure what to put. In the original pre-employment form the only criminal offenses asked were money related. Will this result in my offer being taken away if I have had a prior conviction that was dismissed.
