This pattern indicates Chenango County prosecutors and courts pursue these charges more aggressively than the state norm. However, the trend is moving in the opposite direction: dismissals have climbed from 12.5 percent in 2019 to 20 percent in 2024, suggesting defendants are having somewhat better success challenging these cases over time.

Before trial, nearly half of defendants secure release on their own recognizance while another 38 percent face bail set around $5,000. About one in six disorderly conduct cases gets reduced to a lesser charge, most often criminal contempt or assault, which may offer defendants a pathway to a more favorable outcome than conviction on the original charge.
