Other in Washington County, Florida

In Washington County, defendants charged with "Other" offenses face outcomes that diverge significantly from statewide patterns. With a 67.3% guilty rate and a 30.2% adjudication withheld rate combined, about 97.5% of cases result in guilt or withheld adjudication—substantially higher than the statewide average. The dismissal rate of 1.9% sits well below Florida's 8.6% statewide average, a gap of 6.7 percentage points, suggesting these charges are pursued aggressively in this county with minimal pretrial dismissals. The diversion rate of 0.6% also falls far short of the statewide 8.8%, indicating that pretrial diversion programs are rarely used as an alternative to prosecution for these offenses.

Defendants convicted or with adjudication withheld face meaningful consequences. Average sentences stretch to 615 days, though the median of 364 days shows variation in individual cases. Over half of defendants (51.3%) experience confinement through prison or jail, while probation averages 1,209 days when imposed. Public defenders represent nearly 28% of defendants, while only 6.8% retain private counsel—typical for lower-income defendants in rural counties. Fines average around $497, representing an additional financial burden beyond incarceration and supervision.
