Merely having been arrested or charged with a crime is not enough to bar you from entering the US, though you might be asked about it at the border.
In order to be inadmissible, you would have to have been convicted.
The CBP states these are the reasons one might be found inadmissible, in general:
- If you have a communicable disease,
- Determined to be a drug abuser or addict,
- If you have a criminal record of multiple convictions,
- If you have a criminal record for crimes of moral turpitude,
- Violated any law or regulation relating to a controlled substance including but not limited to trafficking in a controlled substance,
- If you have trafficked in persons,
- If you have been involved in money laundering,
- If you have overstayed a previous period of admission to the United States
