Other in Baker County, Florida
48 cases (2025) · Baker County courts
Updated July 2026 · 2025 data
In 2025, Baker County handled 48 miscellaneous offense cases—a small sample reflecting a rural county's caseload. Conviction occurred in 66.7% of cases, with adjudication withheld in 20.8%. Critically, zero cases resulted in dismissal, compared to the statewide average of 8.2%—an extraordinarily low dismissal rate suggesting minimal prosecutorial discretion. Diversion programs were available and used in 12.5% of cases, nearly 50% above statewide rates.
Sentences were severe. Median ran 548 days—over 18 months—and average sentence 901 days. Prison incarceration was 37.5%, the highest among all measured counties. The small caseload limits confidence in these results, but the pattern suggests Baker County handles miscellaneous charges as serious felonies with minimal leniency. Nearly all defendants relied on public defenders.
