If you were convicted of 1st degree Reckless Endangerment, a class A felony, in 200, then it is too soon for you to think about citizenship: you should wait at least 5 years from the date of completing any period of probation served fro that charge before you apply for naturalization, as that is the required minimum period during which you must have demonstrated "good moral character" in order to be eligible for US citizenship. Keep your original records of the criminal charges, including any change or reduction in the offenses charged, which charges were dismissed and which ones resulted in conviction. I very strongly recommend that you meet with an immigration attorney to reivew those documents before you apply for citizenship.
