You were arrested by J Carranza in Prince William County, and the data suggests your case has better-than-average odds of dismissal. Carranza's cases end with dismissal 51% of the time—significantly higher than the Virginia statewide average of 35%. This 16-point gap puts Carranza in the 75th percentile among officers statewide, meaning dismissals happen more often in his cases than in most other officers' cases. Nearly half of his arrests end in conviction, but the high dismissal rate indicates that either the evidence doesn't hold up consistently or the circumstances of his arrests frequently don't support prosecution.

Your specific charge matters. Most of Carranza's 263 cases (239) fall under "Other" charges with a 51% dismissal rate. If you were arrested for larceny or theft, dismissal rates actually run slightly higher at 56%. The pattern across his cases shows fairly consistent dismissal rates regardless of charge type, suggesting the issue isn't about particular offense categories but something broader about how these cases develop from arrest through court.
