B Tharp

You were arrested by Officer B Tharp in Louisa County, and the data shows a stark picture: his cases have a 17.7% dismissal rate compared to Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. That means cases he arrests on are half as likely to get dismissed. He sits at the 14.8th percentile statewide, meaning very few officers have lower dismissal rates. His 81% conviction rate is correspondingly high. This pattern suggests the cases he brings tend to result in convictions, whether because of how he documents arrests, which cases he chooses to pursue, or how prosecutors handle his work.

Nearly all of Tharp's 874 arrests fall into an "Other" category of charges, making up 843 cases with a 17.4% dismissal rate. His smaller category—18 driving suspended cases—shows slightly higher dismissals at 18.8%, but the sample is too small to draw real conclusions. The charge breakdown doesn't help much because his cases aren't sorted into standard categories. What matters is that across whatever he arrests you for, dismissals are significantly less common than they are statewide.
