Eight people charged with criminal offenses were placed in Carbon County’s Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition probation program on Thursday by President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II.

If a person successfully completes all conditions of the program their record will be wiped clean. However, if they fail to complete it, or are revoked from it, then they would face trial on all pending charges.

A person does not admit guilt in entering the program.

All were placed for a year, unless otherwise noted.
