In Clinton County, aggravated unlicensed operation cases result in conviction in every instance—a stark contrast to the statewide dismissal rate of 6.8 percent. Out of 34 cases tracked, zero were dismissed and zero ended in acquittal, suggesting these charges are pursued aggressively and rarely challenged successfully. Cases take a median of 181 days to resolve, roughly six months from charge to outcome. The consistent 100 percent conviction rate over the 2019-2023 period indicates this county maintains an unwavering approach to these offenses.

Charge reductions tell a different story about case resolution. More than six in ten defendants see their aggravated unlicensed operation charge reduced to something else, most commonly DWI or DUI. This means while conviction is virtually certain, the final charge often shifts during processing. At pretrial, nearly half of defendants are released on their own recognizance, while 13 percent have bail set at a median of $375. Among those convicted, jail sentences are most common at 39 percent, followed by probation at 36 percent, with prison sentences rare at 6 percent.
