Drug Court ineligibility is governed by Illinois Statue 730 ILCS 166/20 (Drug Court Treatment Act). Generally, a defendant must be charged with a felony for a non-violent crime related directly or indirectly to drug use. Defendants who have a history of violent crime or have been arrested for drug sale or trafficking are typically ineligible.
