These Two Questions Cause the Most Trouble On Background Investigations

Hello. Thank You for offering this forum to answer concerns.

My question regards what is probably a common scenario, unfortunately I could not find it (I’m new).

I was arrested 8/2017 for Battery DV. I was not charged and the case was Nolle Prosequi.

Obviously I would need to report that event for an SF-85P and certainly for an SF-86.

The position is actually a voluntary Docent position, but I was hoping to use the access to help network for other positions that might lead to a career requiring an SF-86.

What is the probability for denial of the SF-85 or 86 in your opinion?

Is an arrest an automatic disqualifier even with Nolle Prosequi?

Thank You.
