B; Dep Fincham

You were arrested by Deputy Fincham in Madison County, and the data shows a notably challenging pattern for defendants. His 19.5% dismissal rate falls significantly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—he's in the bottom 17.5th percentile for dismissals, meaning arrests he makes are far less likely to be dismissed than those by most other officers. His 80.1% conviction rate reflects this pattern. This doesn't mean your case is hopeless, but it suggests the cases Deputy Fincham makes tend to proceed to conviction more often than the typical Virginia arrest.

The vast majority of his arrests—386 out of 404—are classified as "Other" charges, which carry a 20.4% dismissal rate. He's made nine DUI/DWI arrests with zero dismissals, and six driving-suspended arrests with a 16.7% dismissal rate. Where your charge falls within these categories matters significantly for your odds. If you were arrested for DUI or DWI, the data shows those cases proceeded to conviction in every instance. For other charge types, roughly one in five cases got dismissed.
