Forgery cases in Warren County result in conviction 95 percent of the time, far exceeding the statewide average conviction rate and reflecting how prosecutors handle these cases locally. The dismissal rate sits at just 5 percent, dramatically below the statewide average of 21.6 percent—a 16.6 percentage point gap that suggests Warren County takes forgery charges seriously and pursues them aggressively. However, dismissals have trended sharply upward from 0 percent in 2021 to 25 percent by 2023, indicating a recent shift in how the county handles these cases.

Nearly half of forgery charges get reduced to lesser offenses, most commonly disorderly conduct. When defendants are released before trial, two-thirds receive release on their own recognizance, though one-quarter face remand with no bail option. For those convicted, sentences distribute evenly across probation, prison, and fines at roughly 26 percent each, with smaller portions receiving jail time or credit for time served. The median bail when set is $2,000, and cases typically resolve within 146 days.
