A Gatto

You were arrested by Officer Gatto, and the data shows an unusually high dismissal rate in their cases. Of 80 arrests, 95.8% were dismissed—far above Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts Officer Gatto in the 98th percentile for dismissals, meaning almost all their arrests don't result in convictions. When cases do proceed, convictions are rare at 4.2%. This pattern suggests either that Officer Gatto arrests people for conduct that courts consistently find insufficient or improper, or that their documentation doesn't hold up under judicial review.

The bulk of Officer Gatto's arrests fall under "Other" charges, which account for 67 cases with a 100% dismissal rate. This category's vagueness makes it hard to predict your specific outcome, but the pattern is clear: these charges don't survive court scrutiny. Drug possession arrests (5 cases) had an 80% dismissal rate—still substantially higher than typical. Where your charge falls within these categories will matter for your case.
