Porter County starting drug court
Bob Kasarda of the Northwest Indiana News reports:
After several years of planning and discussion, officials in Porter County are going ahead with the creation of a drug court.
The court, which is expected to start up sometime after the first of the year, will offer qualified individuals the opportunity to wipe their records clean by successfully completing a program aimed at helping them overcome drug and alcohol problems, while improving other areas of their lives.
Porter Superior Court Judge Julia Jent, who has been active in domestic violence programs, will preside over the new Porter County Alcohol and Other Drug Court.
