There must be no evidence of sale. Minimal prior misdemeanors are allowed but will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Participants must live in Seminole County to qualify. Unlike other diversion cases,these cases can be referred from the trial division. This is not a free program and will likely be on a sliding scale.
