YES and NO. The reason being is that when one is arrested they are taken to Jail to be "processed". Thus there is a distinction between going to Jail after being charged versus someone whose case went before a Judge/Jury and was found "guilty" and sentenced to spend time in Jail.

Elvis was arrested/charged, and then acquitted (i.e. found NOT GUILTY by the Judge on October 19, 1956) of the charge of physically assaulting a gas station attendant who first struck Elvis who was in his car at the time surrounded by fans blocking his exit.

Prior to this assault charge Elvis was arrested and charged with speeding, which he immediately paid the fine and plead "no contest", while driving his car in between concert appearances with his band mates asleep in the other seats (i.e. Scotty Moore and Bill Black).

Hence, Elvis had no criminal record whatsoever.
