You were arrested by J Fuller in Portsmouth, and the data shows an unusual pattern in how cases proceed from arrest to resolution. Overall, 71.4% of cases Fuller brings are dismissed—far higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, placing Fuller in the 90th percentile for dismissal rates among officers. This means most people arrested by Fuller don't end up convicted. When cases do proceed to conviction, it happens in about 28% of cases. The high dismissal rate suggests either the cases are weak on arrival at court or problems emerge during the legal process, but the concrete result is that the majority of people arrested by this officer see their charges dropped.

The pattern varies sharply by charge type. The majority of Fuller's arrests fall into an "Other" category with a 77.3% dismissal rate, making dismissal likely for you if your charge fits there. However, drug possession and DUI charges tell a different story—Fuller's six drug possession arrests had zero dismissals, and six DUI arrests also had zero dismissals. Those two charge categories have conviction certainty. If you were arrested for drug possession or DUI by Fuller, you faced a fundamentally different legal outcome than those arrested for other offenses.
