A Paster

You were arrested by Officer A Paster in Arlington County, where cases involving this officer are dismissed at notably high rates. Your case has a 57.4% chance of dismissal—substantially higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts Officer Paster in the 81st percentile for dismissals among Virginia officers, meaning cases involving this officer are dismissed far more often than most. The high dismissal rate suggests potential issues with evidence quality, probable cause, or case documentation that prosecutors identify before trial.

Your specific outcome depends heavily on your charge. If you were arrested for assault and battery, every case this officer filed was dismissed. Larceny and theft cases show a 46.7% dismissal rate—still above average but notably lower than officer's overall pattern. Drug possession charges tell a different story: only 16.7% of those cases were dismissed, making conviction substantially more likely for drug-related arrests. The largest category of cases—labeled "Other"—has a 67.6% dismissal rate, the highest among all charge types this officer has filed.
