    Default Ingham County Diversion Program

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: michigan


    I was caught with marijuana in Ingham County, Michigan. I received a letter from the Ingham County Prosecutors Office, saying the Prosecuting Attorney delayed action on a warrant pending an investigation by the Diversion Program. It then goes on to say the investigation will determine if I qualify for a voluntary probation term.
    1) What are the requirements to qualify for the diversion program?
    2) Will I have to give a urine drop on 2/12/08?
    3) If so, will I be disqualified if I do not pass?
    4) If I am not accepted into this program, what will happen?
    Thank you for your time in advance!

    Default Re: Ingham County Diversion Program

    From a report, dated a few years ago,
    Quote Quoting Ingham County Prosecutor's Diversion Program
    The Ingham County Prosecutor's Office started the Diversion Program in 1975 and has served the community as a deferred prosecution program for first-time, non-violent offenders. Diversion is a voluntary program which channels first-time offenders into programs such as community service, drug and alcohol treatment, high school completion or individual counseling.
    The terms of each individual program are based on a contract between the probationer and the Prosecutor=s Diversion program. The client must meet all terms of the contract agreement, which include; not violating any criminal laws, paying restitution if necessary, maintaining an active employment or educational status, attending all scheduled casework appointments, and performing assigned community service.

    Offenders who successfully complete the program are not formally charged with the offense, and receive no criminal record for their original offense.
    1. See above; for details see what you can learn from the prosecutor's office or a local criminal defense lawyer.

    2. Maybe.

    3. Probably.

    4. You will be prosecuted. You can then see if you qualify for a 7411 disposition.

    If you can't even keep clean for the little while it takes to get the case resolved, even with the possibility of avoiding a criminal record, it doesn't sound like you're a good candidate for diversion. Consult a criminal defense lawyer about your situation, and see how much the prosecutor's office will work with you if you (as would appear to be the case) repeatedly test dirty.
