Updated July 8, 2026 · Data through 2025
Charge statistics were restated in July 2026 — cases are now grouped by the Virginia Code section charged. What changed and why
If you're facing a probation violation proceeding in Danville — this page shows what typically happens. Across 1,080 cases from 2025 public court records, 74.2% ended in revocation of the suspended sentence or probation.
| Outcome | Cases | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Revoked | 801 | 74.2% |
| Dismissed or dropped | 43 | 4.0% |
| Convicted | 24 | 2.2% |
| Other or still pending | 212 | 19.6% |
Shares use all 1,080 cases as the denominator and sum to 100%. A revocation proceeding under Va. Code § 19.2-306 asks whether a previously suspended sentence should be imposed, so no dismissal rate comparable to other charges is published.

Case Outcomes — General District Court
The outcome mix for these 1,080 proceedings is above, using all cases as the denominator. A dismissal rate is not published for a revocation docket — its characteristic outcome, revocation, is neither a dismissal nor a new conviction, so a rate computed over dismissals and convictions alone would describe only a small minority of these cases.
