2011 IL App (4th) 100295
Decision Date: 
Friday, December 2, 2011
District: 
4th Dist.
Division/County: 
Champaign Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed as modified and remanded with directions.
Justice:

Defendant, a minor, entered open plea to amended charge of unlawful possession with intent to deliver cannabis on school grounds. On date that minor was arrested, even though he was not admitted to Juvenile Detention Center and was later placed on formal station adjustment, he had legal duty to submit to control of arresting officers, and he was thus in custody at time of his arrest. Minor was thus entitled to one day of sentence credit for date of his original arrest. (POPE and KNECHT, concurring.)
