When you were arrested by Officer J J Menago in Virginia Beach, you entered a system where dismissals happen in about one of every three cases. Menago's 33.3% dismissal rate tracks slightly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, and he sits at the 43rd percentile among his peers—meaning his cases are dismissed less often than most officers'. Still, roughly a third of his arrests don't result in convictions, which happens across a range of outcomes including plea deals, insufficient evidence, and actual dismissals. His 62.2% conviction rate reflects cases that reach guilty verdicts or guilty pleas.

The vast majority of Menago's cases—1,280 out of 1,287—fall into a broad "Other" category with a 33.1% dismissal rate, which means your charge likely fits here. Only a small handful of documented driving-suspended cases exist in this data, making them difficult to analyze. Where your case ends up depends heavily on the specific charge, the evidence, and how the case moves through Virginia Beach's courts. The baseline expectation, though, is that cases from this officer are dismissed somewhat less frequently than the Virginia average.
