You were arrested by B R Mcguire in Alleghany County, and your case is more likely to be dismissed than cases handled by most other Virginia officers. McGuire's 56.5% dismissal rate is significantly higher than the statewide average of 34.7%—placing McGuire in the top 20% of officers for dismissals. This suggests either that cases brought by McGuire are weaker on average, or that the courts in Alleghany County are particularly skeptical of the arrests McGuire makes. Your case has a solid chance of being dismissed rather than resulting in conviction, which happened in 42.5% of McGuire's cases overall.
What happens in your case depends heavily on what you were charged with. If you face drug possession or weapons charges, dismissal rates are exceptionally high—81.8% and 86.7% respectively. However, if you were arrested for DUI/DWI, the pattern flips dramatically: only 8.7% of those cases are dismissed, and conviction becomes far more likely. Other charges fall in the middle range at 57.5% dismissals. The charge type matters more than the officer in predicting your outcome.
Based on 591 public court records, 2023–2024. Cases heard at Alleghany County District Court. Dismissal rate includes cases dropped by the court or prosecutor. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and trial verdicts. Last updated: December 2024
