If the Judge grants the deferred disposition, a finding of guilt will be deferred, or postponed, for a specified period of time. During your probation, you must comply with certain terms and conditions, and if you do, your case will be dismissed, and no conviction will be reported or placed on your record. You will be required to pay a fee (equal to the amount of the fine) and court costs, commit no other offenses during the probation period, and comply with any other terms or conditions the judge may order. The fee and costs are due on the date stated in the order. Any other conditions ordered will be due by the date stated in the order.

  • Under 21 and cited for an alcohol related offense or
  • You were arrested or charged for assault involving family violence or
  • You are under the age of 17 years of age at the time you received the citation.  By law you are considered a juvenile.
