You were arrested by Officer C Norvelle in Orange County, Virginia, where the court system operates independently from surrounding areas. The good news: cases involving this officer have a 49.5% dismissal rate, which is significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts Officer Norvelle in the top 28% of officers statewide for cases being dismissed. About half of arrests result in dismissal, and about half in conviction—a notably more balanced outcome than you'd typically see across Virginia.
Your specific outcome depends heavily on what you were charged with. If you were arrested for "Other" charges (the most common category), dismissal rates run 68%, which is quite favorable. Drug possession cases show a 60% dismissal rate. However, DUI/DWI arrests have a very different pattern: only 6.2% of those cases get dismissed, meaning convictions are nearly certain in those cases. Public intoxication falls in the middle at 35.7% dismissal. Where your charge falls in this breakdown will largely determine what typically happens next.
Based on 149 public court records, 2023–2024. Cases heard at Orange 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
