You were arrested by Officer Blaha in Chesterfield County, and your case outcome depends partly on what charge you're facing. Overall, Officer Blaha's cases dismiss at a 37.1% rate—slightly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—and result in conviction about 60% of the time. This puts him near the middle of officers statewide in terms of dismissal patterns, suggesting his cases aren't unusually prone to falling apart, but they're not unusually solid either.
The specific charge matters significantly in your situation. If you were charged with Drug Possession, every case Officer Blaha filed on that charge has been dismissed—a stark contrast to his overall rate. Larceny charges dismiss about 71% of the time under him. But if you're facing Driving Suspended, you should know that none of his cases on that charge have been dismissed; they've all resulted in conviction. The majority of his arrests fall into "Other" charges, which dismiss about 34% of the time and follow his typical pattern more closely.
