Citizenship Detox Visit

[rangoon]

I have my citizenship interview in 2 weeks (Milwaukee, WI). I had answered yes for the arrested question. Actually I was a little drunk and depressed due to some personal issues (obviously with g/f) and one thing led to another and she ended up calling cops 'coz I threatened harm to myself. Anyway long story short, I was taken into custody and directly released to a detox center for the overnight. I was advised getting psychiatric help which I did. All this was like 8 years ago and all I could get on this was a copy of the police incident report. Besides that the only other thing I have are nurses notes from the detox center. Now I am nervous about this incident specially since I can't find any details about it or any such matching circumstance. I did speak directly to the police clerk and there was nothing else she could provide; all she said was that the immigration officer could call her if needed. Any recommendations?

You were arrested but never convicted of anything, so it's a non issue for naturalization. Just mention at interview you were held overnight due to drunkeness, but never convicted of anything. Don't go into details that you threatened to harm yourself. Anyway the incident happened outside of statutory period, so it's highly unlikely the IO will pursue the issue.
