D W Caldwell

You were arrested by Officer D W Caldwell in Roanoke County. Looking at his record across 915 cases, your case follows a pattern where about 31% of arrests get dismissed and roughly 69% result in convictions. That dismissal rate is slightly lower than Virginia's statewide average of 35%, putting Caldwell in the bottom 40% of officers for dismissals. This means his arrests tend to stick more often than the typical Virginia officer's do, though nearly a third still don't result in conviction.

The vast majority of Caldwell's arrests—872 cases—are classified as "Other" charges, which have a 31.5% dismissal rate. The remaining 38 cases involved Driving Suspended charges, which show a lower dismissal rate at 27%. If your charge falls into one of these categories, you're looking at dismissal odds slightly below the state average. The specific circumstances of your arrest and charge will matter more than these numbers, but Caldwell's track record suggests a reasonably high bar for what doesn't result in conviction.
