J M Collier

You were arrested by Officer Collier in Fairfax County, and your case outcome depends significantly on what you were charged with. Overall, Officer Collier's cases are dismissed at a rate of 44.1%, which is notably higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—putting this officer in the top third statewide for dismissal rates. This suggests the charges Collier brings have a meaningful chance of not resulting in conviction, whether because of how cases are built, how evidence holds up in court, or the types of situations Collier encounters. However, 55.9% of cases do result in conviction, so dismissal is far from guaranteed.

Your specific outcome likely hinges on your charge type. If you were arrested for larceny or theft, dismissals occur in 96.1% of those cases—an exceptionally high rate. Fraud or forgery charges also see very high dismissals at 90.9%. But if you were charged with driving suspended, dismissals drop to just 22.2%, and if your charge falls under "Other," expect dismissal in only 36.7% of cases. Where your charge sits on that spectrum matters enormously for what typically happens next.
