Hybrid OWI / Drug Court

Start Date:

Description: 
JusticePoint is in the planning stages of developing a Hybrid Treatment Court with stakeholders in Sawyer County. The court will work with individuals charged with crimes related to their substance abuse, including OWI offenses. Entry to the Sawyer County Hybrid Treatment Court will be dependent upon a referral to the program by the Judge, District Attorney, Defense Attorney, or Coordinator. If the individual referred decides to participate in Hybrid Treatment Court, the defendant’s council and the District Attorney meet to negotiate the plea agreement with Hybrid Treatment Court as a condition of probation. The sentence is stayed, and the individual enters Hybrid Treatment Court. Alternatives to revocation will also be accepted to the Hybrid Treatment Court.
