i'm not asking to give offense and the answer is really none of my business but many an employer who "doesn't give a shit" for one person, would use the excuse of the arrest not to hire another person

if there were two people waiting to be hired, same degree and experience on paper, but one is from a poor background, maybe has an accent, maybe has skin a little darker than other workers at the firm, and that person also has a loitering complaint -- be real, the person who appears "to fit in better" will be the pick

the arrest will relieve the employer of any real possibility of being sued for discrimination, it gives a new layer of deniability
