It actually happens a lot, but it's not the judge who dismisses it, but the prosecutor's office.
There are plenty of times where the prosecutor pursues bogus charges to intimidate a citizen into taking a plea deal of a lesser charge. And if the citizen fights to go to a jury trial, the prosecutor will drop the charges so it can't go on record that they are clearly acting corruptly to protect their own.
Like this case where a citizen was arrested for calling a cop a dumbass and afterwards the prosecutor attempted to trump up the charges to aggravated assault and then dismissed charges like a week before his jury trial.
