You may be asked about it, but it shouldn't go any farther than your telling the story in response to the question. If asked, just tell the truth. As outlined in Sheik Paul's answer, the incident does not make you inadmissible. | |

As far as I'm aware, there is controversy about whether the relevant section of the law applies to nonimmigrants, but even if it does, the penalty is up to $100 and/or 30 days imprisonment, which makes it a misdemeanor for which you cannot be deported. | |
