You were arrested by G Thornton in Roanoke County, and the data shows a pattern worth understanding. Out of 324 cases, Thornton's arrests lead to conviction in about 74 percent of cases, with dismissals at 25 percent. Virginia statewide averages 35 percent dismissals, meaning cases Thornton brings are dismissed less often than typical. Thornton ranks in the bottom quarter statewide for dismissal rates, about 9 percentage points below average. This suggests the cases filed tend to be stronger or the charges more serious, though it could also reflect how charges are initially selected.
Most of Thornton's arrests fall under "Other" charges (292 cases, 24 percent dismissal rate). Driving Suspended charges show a higher dismissal rate at 36 percent, suggesting more variability in those cases. Drug Possession arrests—six total—had zero dismissals, the lowest rate among the charge types. If your arrest falls under Drug Possession or the broader "Other" category, the data indicates dismissal was relatively uncommon in similar cases brought by this officer, though outcomes depend heavily on the specific facts of your case.
