I recently applied for a job with the federal government and have to obtain a public trust security clearance, however back in November the police ran into my house and found some illegal substance and locked me up I spent 12hours in holding and had to go to court in march I plead no contest and I had to pay 45.00 in court cost and unsupervised probation for 6months the charge is a misdemeanor, so my question is could I be denied a public trust for this occurrence
What exactly do you mean by a "public trust" security clearance? :-?
the security clearance is considered a public trust you have to complete a SF85P form, this is what is on the announcement
Security Clearance
Public Trust - Background Investigation

Yes, but what level of clearance does this involve - TS/SCI, TS, "secret" or "confidential, etc." ?
I've just never heard that term used before. :-?
To answer your specific question, I think that it would depend entirely on the particular agency involved and the level of clearance required.
In the case of the CIA or NSA, I'd say "forget it". :(
