Arrest and Caution in UK for shoplifting - visa problems?

[moebiusend]

I got arrested last year in the UK for shoplifting a scarf, they gave me a caution which is like a warning in the U.S. so it wouldn't even be recorded in the U.S.
It was an arrest though.
Do I have to check arrested on my visa application?
Will it cause any problems for my application?

I would like just a normal tourist visa first.
Eventually I would like to get U.S. citizenship because my spouse is a U.S. born citizen.
Please help!!
I'm scared I will not be allowed into the U.S. ever again.
