Petit Larceny in Tioga County
28 cases · Tioga County Courts · DCJS Data
Petit larceny defendants in Tioga County face markedly better odds than the statewide average. With a 50% dismissal rate compared to 34.5% statewide, cases here are significantly more likely to be dropped. The 50% conviction rate reflects an even split between dismissals and guilty verdicts, with zero acquittals. The trend strengthens this pattern: dismissal rates jumped from 12.5% in 2023 to 73.3% in 2024, suggesting prosecutors or courts are increasingly skeptical of these charges or evidentiary standards have shifted. Cases resolve within roughly five months on average.
Pretrial release is generous in Tioga County—nearly 68% of defendants are released on their own recognizance with no bail required, and no one is remanded. When charges survive to conviction, consequences are modest: 16.7% receive jail time and an equal share face fines. About one-sixth of cases see charges reduced, exclusively to disorderly conduct, which often carries lighter penalties than larceny. The combination of high dismissals, easy pretrial release, and lenient sentencing suggests Tioga County treats petit larceny as a relatively low-priority offense.
Dismissal rate includes judicial dismissals and cases dismissed in the interest of justice. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and findings of guilt at trial. Avg duration measures arraignment to final disposition. Data sourced from New York DCJS Pretrial Release Data. Last updated: March 2026
