Question by kiki: Can a person plead drug dependent in the state of ohio, and get the chance to do rehab?
A friend of mine is in jail now for fleeing and eluding, plus has charges filed against him for forgery. It’s their first time in trouble. They do have a drug problem. Will pleading drug dependant give this person the opportunity to seek drug treatment help and avoid prison or serving time. My friend is not an minor. Thanks, kiki

dug himself a pretty deep hole hun.. he might be able to do that if he can prove to the court that hard time isn’t the answer. Is this a first? second?.. if its a first.. then he might be able to plead it down.. try talking to the prosecutor.
