J P Poling

If you were arrested by Officer Poling in Prince William County, your case has a notably higher chance of dismissal than the Virginia average. His dismissal rate of 43.1% significantly exceeds the statewide average of 34.7%, placing him in the 63rd percentile among Virginia officers. This means cases filed by Poling are more likely to be resolved without conviction—though conviction still happens in about 57% of his cases. This pattern suggests his charging decisions may be subject to greater judicial scrutiny or that evidentiary issues are more common in his arrests.

The vast majority of Poling's cases fall into miscellaneous charges rather than specific felony categories, with a 44.4% dismissal rate on those 90 cases. When Poling does file larceny or theft charges, dismissals occur less frequently at 33.3%. Your outcome depends heavily on what you were charged with—misdemeanor-level charges show stronger dismissal patterns than property crimes under his record.
