Disorderly Conduct in Calhoun County, Florida
21 cases (2023-2025) · Calhoun County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
Disorderly conduct cases in Calhoun County show a distinctive pattern with a guilty rate of only 33.3%. The withheld adjudication rate of 66.7% is strikingly high, far exceeding the statewide average of 25.0%. No cases result in dismissal or acquittal, but the overwhelming reliance on withheld adjudication—meaning judges find guilt but refrain from formal conviction—creates a unique outcome structure. This approach effectively spares two-thirds of defendants a conviction record despite findings of guilt, diverging substantially from statewide norms.
Sentences are minimal, averaging 14.5 days with a median of just 2 days, appropriate for this minor charge. However, 52.4% of defendants are incarcerated, likely briefly. Fines average $145.73. Only 4.8% retain private counsel, with 23.8% receiving public defenders, consistent with lower-income participation in disorderly conduct cases.
