You were arrested by A. E. Mellis in Prince William County, and the data shows you're in territory where dismissals happen, but convictions are the more likely outcome. Mellis's dismissal rate of 33.3% sits just slightly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, placing this officer near the middle of the range compared to peers.
