You were arrested by Officer J E Fones in Chesterfield County. Looking at his track record across 156 cases, you're in territory where outcomes lean toward conviction but dismissals happen more often than statewide average. His dismissal rate is 39.8 percent compared to Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent, putting him in the middle range among his peers. That means cases he files have a slightly better chance of being dismissed than typical, but he still secures convictions in about six out of ten cases overall. The fact that he's above average on dismissals suggests the charges he brings don't always stick, which could work in your favor depending on the specifics of your arrest.
Most of Officer Fones' arrests fall under "Other" charges (131 cases), where dismissals happen in roughly four out of ten cases. He's also filed five weapons offense cases, and notably, none of those were dismissed—all resulted in convictions. Where your charge falls within these categories matters significantly for your situation. If you were charged with a weapons offense, the dismissal rate drops to zero. If your charge is classified under "Other," you're looking at roughly the same dismissal probability as his overall average.
