Blake W Hudson

You were arrested by Officer Blake Hudson in Amherst County, and the numbers suggest your case faces challenging odds. Hudson's dismissal rate is 9.5 percent, far below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. This means cases he files are dismissed at roughly one-third the typical rate. He ranks in the bottom 5 percent of Virginia officers on dismissals, indicating that prosecutors and judges agree with his arrests at an unusually high rate. His 86.2 percent conviction rate reflects this pattern. While high conviction rates can indicate solid police work, Hudson's rate combined with such low dismissals suggests either exceptionally strong cases or a pattern where initial charges stick regardless of evidence quality.

Nearly all of Hudson's arrests—292 out of 300—fall under "Other" charges, which carry an 8.9 percent dismissal rate. Only eight cases involved Driving Suspended charges, which had a 25 percent dismissal rate. The breakdown tells you little without knowing your specific charge, but it shows most defendants arrested by Hudson face charges outside the common categories, making it harder to benchmark your situation against typical outcomes. The data doesn't explain why his cases succeed at such high rates, only that they do.
