DA's Report
By David C. Allan. Morrow County
District Attornay
For the reader's information,
each month I will cover a
different criminal justice issue.
This month, the topic is the drug
and alcohol packages imposed
by the circuit court at
sentencing. These packages are
generally a condition probation
when drugs or alcohol are
involved cither directly or
indirectly in the criminal
incident. These conditions must
be followed and completed by
the defendant to avoid being
charged with a probation
violation.
The alcohol and drug packages
require a defendant to undergo
an alcohol/substance abuse
evaluation
and
complete
whatever treatment is indicated
necessary,
including,
if
appropriate, inpatient treatment
and after-care. The defendant is
responsible for all treatment
costs. During the term of their
probation,
defendants
are
prohibited from consuming or
possessing alcohol/controlled
substances
or
entering
establishments where alcohol is
the chief item for sale or where
controlled substances are used.
A defendant under the alcohol
package cannot even enter a bar.
Defendants must also submit to
random breath, blood or urine
tests at the request of the
probation officer or court.
Defendants also must submit
their person, residence, vehicle
and property to search without
the necessity of a search warrant,
if the probation officer or court
has reasonable grounds to
believe the search will reveal
evidence of a probation
violation. The drug package
also has conditions that the
defendant not associate with any
person known to use, sell or
possess illegal drugs.
