Gillam

You were arrested by Officer Gillam in Emporia, a small independent city in Virginia. Looking at his overall record across 178 cases, he has a 31.7% dismissal rate and a 67.5% conviction rate. This is slightly lower than Virginia's statewide average dismissal rate of 34.7%, placing him at the 41st percentile among officers—meaning dismissals happen a bit less often in his cases than typical. That said, the difference is small, about 3 percentage points. What this means for you is that cases from this officer have a moderately higher chance of reaching conviction than the state average, but it's not dramatically different.

Your specific charge matters significantly. If you were arrested for DUI/DWI, dismissals happen in 40% of cases—actually above the statewide average. For larceny or theft charges, dismissal rates are 33.3%. However, if your charge falls under "Other" (which covers 129 of his arrests), dismissals occur in 30.2% of cases. Public intoxication charges have the lowest dismissal rate here at 22.2%. Understanding where your charge sits in this breakdown gives you a clearer picture of the typical outcome pattern.
