Folks:
One of my friends is applying for naturalization in a couple of days, also based in CT.
He recently had a small issue at the mall where the shopkeeper though he had picked up something at the store. When he stepped out of the store, she followed him and called the security guards (who in turn called the cops). They questioned him, checked his bags etc, but found nothing on him and they just let him go. During the interrogation the cops did call someone on the phone to verify his name and I'm guessing to check if he had any previous criminal issues (he has none).
Can this cause any problems in his processing. Also, he was not given any tickets, arrested or anything so should he answer "Yes" to any of the questions on the N400 form in the criminal history questions??
I donit think this is even considered a citation since it was a simple misunderstanding and he was clean and they let him go.
I don't think he should mention it on N-400. But it is my individual thought.
