Other in Citrus County, Florida
1,863 cases (2025) · Citrus County courts
Updated July 2026 · 2025 data
In 2025, Citrus County produced the most favorable outcomes for "other" felony defendants among counties reviewed: 42% received adjudication withheld, more than double the 18% statewide average, and 14.5% were dismissed versus 8.2% statewide. Combined, only 41.3% were convicted. This pattern suggests Citrus prosecutors and courts strongly prioritize alternatives to conviction.
However, defendants who received withheld adjudication faced substantial probation: average 1,291 days (over three and a half years) and median 731 days (over two years). Prison and jail confinement were sparse at 4.4% combined, suggesting withheld outcomes involve probation-heavy sentences rather than incarceration. Attorney representation was sparsely documented, limiting visibility into counsel access.
Before Court: State Attorney Decisions
Not every Other charge in Citrus County makes it in front of a judge. Of 650 prosecutor decisions on Other charges (2023-2025), the State Attorney declined to file, dropped, or dismissed 9.5% — below the 43.1% statewide rate. These decisions happen early in a case, before trial.

Percentages are of charges receiving a prosecution decision; transfers between courts are excluded. Court outcome data on this page is a separate dataset covering cases that reached disposition.
