Officer Daniel Shetler arrested you in Albemarle County, and his cases follow a pattern worth understanding. His dismissal rate of 41.7 percent is notably higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent—meaning cases he brings are more likely to get dismissed than typical. He sits at the 60th percentile among officers statewide, suggesting his cases land in the middle-to-upper range for dismissals. His conviction rate of 56.1 percent means most arrests result in convictions, but the elevated dismissal rate indicates courts frequently find problems with how charges are brought or the evidence presented.

The vast majority of Shetler's arrests—134 out of 153—fall under "Other" charges, which carry a 43.4 percent dismissal rate. If you were arrested for Driving Suspended, you're in a smaller group of 18 cases with a notably lower dismissal rate of 27.8 percent, suggesting those charges face steeper odds in court. Your specific charge category matters significantly for predicting outcomes. The data shows Shetler's cases are somewhat more vulnerable to dismissal than the state average, but outcomes vary substantially by charge type.
