A X Copeland

You were arrested by Officer Copeland in Chesterfield County, and your case has roughly even odds of being dismissed or resulting in conviction. Copeland's 44.2% dismissal rate is notably higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, putting him in the top third of officers statewide. This suggests cases involving this officer are more likely to be dismissed than typical, which could mean he files cases with thinner evidence or that courts handling his arrests apply closer scrutiny. About 54% of his cases end in convictions. Your outcome will depend heavily on your specific charge and the details of your arrest.

The vast majority of Copeland's arrests—103 cases—fall under "Other" charges with a 46% dismissal rate. If you were charged with a property crime like larceny or theft, you're looking at a 57% dismissal rate, the highest among his common charges.

Your charge type matters significantly in predicting what typically happens next.
