Hi, I graduated 3 weeks ago. and am trying to register to take my boards. here is my issue: 3 years ago i was arreste for stealing diet supplements from kmart. (never stole anything before in my life) I plead guilty and paid my fines, it is on my record as a non traffic summary violation (less of a charge than a misdemenor) I filled out my application and sent all required paperwork to the state, they asked for a summary of the incident which I wrote, they mailed it back stating they want a detailed summary (who, what, when, where, and judgements. all this info was in my first summary so im not sure exactly what they are looking for. Has anyone ever gone or know someone that has gone thru this? I just dont even know where to begin at this point. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Not trying to sound like a smart aleck, but I would recommend that you call your state boards, or the organization in charge of the applications to clarify what they are requesting, especially since it sounds like you've already provided them with all the necessary documentation. Someone might have had a similar background to yours, but their experience may differ. I would imagine that state boards also vary on their requirement in this type of situation. Good luck!

They may say they will take a written summery but that is not true! They want police records, court records any kind of papers that apply to the charge. They want to see that you have changed include something about how different you are now.

Thank you, I have sent them all the required court documentation. And everything they have asked for. Now I'm just nervous that this is going to be held against me and I'm going to be denied my boards. I am so sick over this whole thing.
