J D Deland

You were arrested by J D Deland, who works in Chesterfield County. The good news: his cases are dismissed at a rate of 57.5%, which is significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This means you're looking at better-than-average odds. Deland ranks in the 81st percentile for dismissals compared to other officers statewide—his cases simply don't hold up in court as often as most. That 23-point gap above state average is substantial and suggests either weak cases or prosecutorial challenges, but either way, dismissals happen more frequently here than elsewhere in Virginia.

Your odds depend heavily on what you were charged with. If you face a weapons offense or drug possession charge, dismissal rates are exceptionally high at 92% and 76.4% respectively. Driving Suspended charges tell a different story—only 27.5% get dismissed. The largest category of Deland's cases falls under "Other" charges, which dismiss at 52.8%. Where your charge lands within these categories matters significantly for what you should realistically expect.
