Commonwealth Of Virginia

You were arrested in Henrico County, and the data shows you're part of a larger pattern that's notably different from typical Virginia outcomes. Cases handled here have a 43.4% dismissal rate—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This suggests the local court system dismisses charges more frequently, which is good news if your case is among those that get dismissed. The conviction rate stands at 52.7%, meaning about half of arrests result in convictions. Henrico County operates as an independent city court system separate from surrounding counties, so these patterns are specific to your jurisdiction.

Your outcome depends partly on what you were charged with. The majority of cases here (4,416) fall under "Other" charges with a 44.5% dismissal rate, roughly matching the overall pattern. If you were arrested for DUI/DWI, you're in a category with the highest dismissal rate at 54.1%, well above the county average. However, if you face a larceny or theft charge, dismissal rates drop to 30.7%—below both the county and statewide averages, suggesting those cases typically move forward more often.
