This officer's cases have a 78.6% dismissal rate compared to Virginia's 34.7% statewide average—meaning cases here are dismissed at more than twice the rate they are elsewhere in the state. Officer Shelton-Gonzalez ranks in the 93.5th percentile for dismissals among Virginia officers, suggesting systemic issues with how charges are filed or evidence is handled.
