That is kind of difficult to advise on. For instance, people travelling into Canada, having their passport scanned, are not allowed with even a DWI (driving while intoxicated). Bear in mind that Canada is a foreign country to the US so it is an international border.

What are the pending charges? You have not been convicted of any?

I would advise to call US Immigration and discuss this with them, to make sure that you will be allowed in, otherwise it might well be an embarrassment
