Is Assault By Auto Eligible For Pretrial Intervention (“PTI”)?

Pretrial Intervention, also know as PTI, is a diversionary program that allows a first-time offender to avoid a criminal conviction and associated penalties.  Criminal offenses falling within the grade of a third degree crime or fourth degree crime are eligible for this program. The typical term of the program is one year and, upon completion, results in dismissal of the related criminal charge.
