On February 18, 2001, Trooper Keener, from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, stopped the appellant and subsequently arrested him for driving under the influence of alcohol.

On April 2, 2001, a bill of information was filed in the Ashland County Court of Common Pleas charging the appellant with possession of cocaine.
On April 23, 2001, the appellant filed a request for intervention instead of a conviction. The trial court ordered a psychiatric evaluation to determine the appellant’s eligibility for intervention instead of treatment.
