Aj Darby

You were arrested by Officer Darby in Westmoreland County, and the data shows you had a notably better chance of dismissal than most people arrested statewide. Officer Darby's cases are dismissed 46.2% of the time compared to Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—that's an 11.5 percentage point advantage. This puts Darby in the 67th percentile among officers, meaning cases from this officer are dismissed more frequently than most. While a 53.8% conviction rate is still significant, the higher-than-average dismissal rate suggests the charges brought may not always hold up in court.

The specific charge matters considerably. The majority of Darby's cases—44 out of 67—fall under "Other" charges, which see a 48.5% dismissal rate. DUI/DWI cases are much stickier, with only a 12.5% dismissal rate in Darby's record, while obstruction charges dismiss at 25%. Your charge type will heavily influence your likely outcome. If you were arrested for something outside DUI or obstruction, you're looking at dismissal odds closer to that 48.5% figure for miscellaneous charges.
