J Degerolamo

You were arrested by Officer J Degerolamo in Arlington County, and the data shows you had a better chance of having your case dismissed than most people arrested statewide. Across 159 cases, Officer Degerolamo's arrests resulted in dismissals 46.6% of the time—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts the officer in the 69th percentile for dismissal rates, meaning arrests from this officer are more likely to be dropped than those from most other Virginia officers. A near-even split between dismissals and convictions suggests the cases brought tend to be weaker or more challengeable than average.

Looking at specific charges, the pattern varies. Most of Officer Degerolamo's arrests—87 cases—fall under "Other" charges with a 39.7% dismissal rate. If you were arrested for larceny or theft, those cases dismissed 44.4% of the time. Public intoxication charges had the highest dismissal rate at 66.7%, though only seven cases fell into that category. Where your charge falls in this breakdown matters: public intoxication arrests had substantially better odds of dismissal than the broader "Other" category.
