Ask a Hanover County attorney — freeYou were arrested by Officer J. D. Cumber in Hanover County, and the data shows your case enters a system with particular patterns. Of Cumber's 104 cases, 72.6% resulted in convictions while 27.4% were dismissed. That dismissal rate is notably lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—about 7 percentage points below what you'd typically see across the state. This places Cumber in the lower tier for dismissals among officers statewide, meaning cases they file tend to move toward conviction more often than average.
Your specific charge matters significantly. If you were arrested for reckless driving, dismissals happen in about 39% of those cases under Cumber—actually higher than the officer's overall rate and closer to statewide norms. However, if your charge falls under the "Other" category (which makes up the bulk of Cumber's arrests at 85 cases), dismissals occur in only about 24% of those cases. Understanding which category your charge fits helps clarify what the typical outcome looks like for someone in your exact situation.
