Under what circumstance is a person ineligible for PTI?

A person is ineligible for Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) primarily due to previous participation in PTI programs or if they have been charged with certain types of offenses. Previous participation means that if an individual has already gone through the PTI process for a different offense, they may not be allowed to enter into PTI again for a new charge. This reflects the program's intent to help first-time, non-violent offenders rather than those who have already had an opportunity for diversion.

Additionally, individuals charged with more serious offenses, such as DUI, traffic offenses that could lead to serious harm, or any crime of violence, may also find themselves ineligible for PTI. The rationale here is that PTI is designed as a rehabilitative measure for specific categories of lesser offenses, and violent crimes or repeat offenders are typically excluded to maintain the program's integrity and objectives.

Thus, the correct answer encompasses both previous participation in PTI and charges related to DUI, traffic offenses, and violent crimes, solidifying the understanding that these factors contribute directly to an individual's ineligibility for PTI.
