MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) - Terry Johnson entered into a one-year pretrial diversion agreement on Friday, Nov. 13, to resolve his criminal case.

According to Midland County District Attorney Glenn Harwood, the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure permits district attorneys to offer a diversion program and charge a fee of up to $500 to reimburse their county for its expenses.

About 400 first-time, nonviolent offenders enter the program in Midland County each year, Harwood said.
