H Makely

You were arrested by Officer H Makely in Culpeper County, and your case follows a pattern that's roughly in line with statewide norms. Out of 68 cases this officer has brought, about one-third get dismissed and two-thirds result in conviction. That 33.3% dismissal rate is slightly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, putting this officer in the lower-middle range compared to peers. The difference is small—less than two percentage points—so your case isn't heading into unusually harsh or lenient territory based on the officer's overall track record.

The officer primarily files charges categorized as "Other" offenses, where roughly 36% get dismissed. However, if you were arrested for DUI or DWI, that changes the picture significantly: the officer has five such cases on record with zero dismissals, meaning all resulted in conviction. Knowing which charge you're facing matters here. For most offense types this officer handles, you're looking at odds closer to a coin flip between dismissal and conviction. For DUI specifically, this officer's record shows a perfect conviction rate, though that sample is small.
