Good advice from atpwannabe. To your friend: Before you decide what you want to disclose or not, or even get other opinions, you MUST find out what your paper trail is. What is in writing - that's the important part. Go get your record from the county clerk - this is what shows up in background checks.

From what is sounds like here, it will most likely need to be disclosed. However, don't ignore the facts - this was a long time ago and it was dismissed. I wouldn't be afraid to disclose this and explain what happened. Anyone can empathize.
