You were arrested by Officer D Meehan in Richmond City, and the data shows a mixed picture for your case. Meehan's overall dismissal rate is 40 percent—notably higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent—meaning cases he makes are more likely to get thrown out than the typical officer's. However, his conviction rate sits at 58.5 percent, so most of his arrests still result in guilty verdicts. This pattern suggests the cases Meehan brings tend to have weaker evidence or legal problems, but the ones that stick usually hold up in court.

Your outcome depends significantly on what you were charged with. If you were arrested for DUI or DWI, the data is stark: Meehan has made 9 such arrests with a zero percent dismissal rate, meaning all resulted in convictions. For the broader category of other charges (which comprises the majority of his 77 total cases), the dismissal rate is 38.3 percent—better odds, but still far from certain. Where your specific charge falls within that "other" category matters.
