Other in Levy County, Florida
128 cases (2025) · Levy County courts
Updated July 2026 · 2025 data
Levy County's "Other" charges in 2025 resulted in no dismissals among 128 cases, matching zero dismissals while diverging sharply from the 8.2% statewide dismissal rate. Guilty findings accounted for 80.5% and adjudication withheld for 19.5%. The absence of diversion programs and negotiated dismissals indicates a prosecution posture that moves most cases to final disposition rather than early resolution or case screening.
Sentencing data reveals significant variation: the average sentence of 1329.7 days masks a median of only 210 days, suggesting some defendants received substantial prison or jail terms while others received shorter sentences. Nearly half (47.7%) faced prison or jail confinement. With only 3.9% having private attorneys, nearly all defendants relied on public defense, which may constrain negotiating power in a county with limited diversion infrastructure.
Before Court: State Attorney Decisions
Not every Other charge in Levy County makes it in front of a judge. Of 187 prosecutor decisions on Other charges (2023-2025), the State Attorney declined to file, dropped, or dismissed 17.6% — below the 43.1% statewide rate. These decisions happen early in a case, before trial.

Rates are per charge, not per defendant — a dropped charge often reflects a plea agreement on another charge in the same case, not the case going away. 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.
