C W Gately

You were arrested by Officer Gately in Prince William County, and the data shows an unusual pattern in how his cases resolve. Overall, 66.7% of his arrests get dismissed—nearly double the statewide average of 34.7%. This puts him in the 87th percentile for dismissal rates among Virginia officers, meaning his cases are far more likely to be dropped than cases from most other officers. That 32-point gap above the state average suggests either the charges he brings face significant evidentiary problems, or the cases don't hold up during prosecution.

Your outcome depends partly on what you were charged with. Officer Gately's most common arrests fall under "Other" charges (57 cases with a 73.5% dismissal rate) and Public Intoxication (18 cases with 52.9% dismissed). If you were charged with a weapons offense, dismissals run even higher at 80%, but drug possession charges are dismissed less frequently at 57.1%. The wide variation across charge types means your specific charge category matters significantly for predicting what might happen next in court.
