Background Check - About to accept a summer internship offer

I am about to accept a summer internship offer at a MM bank doing trading and was worried a bit about the background check. I was arrested for basically throwing a party last semester but all charges were dismissed prior to my arraignment. Also, the arrest is currently on the internet for the local paper's police blotter.

Would this be a major issue? If HR saw this during the background check would they at least call me for an explanation?

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone could give me

Happened to multiple people around this campus last coupla years. Haven't heard a case where anyone had a problem with background check. Most were alcohol offenses and whatnot and most were dropped.
