Production note: AI-assisted editorial draft based on the Hamilton County Jail booking response and current Florida statutes. The booking record labels §847.0137(2) as a third-degree felony, while the current 2026 Florida code classifies that subsection as second-degree; the reviewed materials include no court disposition or charging document. Human review pending.
A Hamilton County Jail booking record lists Joseph David Wood as booked on September 10, 2026, on two charges: OBSCENE MATERIAL-POSSESS (Fla. Stat. § 827.071(4)), listed by the booking record as a second-degree felony; and OBSCENE COMMUNICATION (Fla. Stat. § 847.0137(2)), listed by the booking record as a third-degree felony. The record lists $0.00 bond for each charge.
Under the current Florida text of § 827.071(4), the cited subsection addresses possessing, with intent to promote, a photograph, film, representation, or other presentation that includes child sexual abuse material. The statute classifies a violation as a second-degree felony. This is a description of the law, not a finding that the booking record proves any statutory element.
Under the current Florida text of § 847.0137(2), the cited subsection addresses a person in Florida who knew or reasonably should have known they were transmitting child sexual abuse material to another person in Florida or another jurisdiction. The 2026 code classifies a violation as a second-degree felony. The booking record’s third-degree label differs from that current code classification; the reviewed booking materials do not explain the difference.
No court disposition is recorded in the materials reviewed. The charges are allegations, and the booking record does not establish guilt.
