If you have been charged with a crime involving possession of a controlled substance/drug paraphernalia, you may be eligible to participate in the City of Wichita Drug Court Deferred Judgment Program only if:
-
You have never participated in a Diversion or Deferred Judgment Program for a similar offense.
-
You must apply for Deferred Judgment within seven (7) days from your initial appearance for a crime involving a drug offense, and pay the $25.00 non-refundable application fee.
If your application for Deferred Judgment is accepted, you must enter a plea of guilty to the charge(s) against you. The City will then ask the Court to defer judgment and sentencing on that plea for a period of one year. If you successfully complete the Drug Court Deferred Judgment Program, you will be permitted to withdraw your plea of guilty. At that time the City Attorney will dismiss the charge(s).
Application forms and detailed information sheets are available in the Municipal Court Clerk's Office, 2nd floor, City Hall, 455 N. Main, Wichita, Kansas.
Or, you may download and print the information sheet and application listed below and bring the completed application form to the Court Clerk's Office.
