J R Juranek

You were arrested by Officer Juranek in Fairfax County, where cases go through the independent city court system separate from surrounding counties. What's striking about your situation is that Officer Juranek dismisses cases at a significantly higher rate than typical—50% compared to the statewide average of 34.7%. This puts him in the 72nd percentile for dismissal rates, meaning his cases are more likely to be dropped than most officers' across Virginia. Of the cases that don't get dismissed, about 46% result in conviction. This pattern suggests the charges Officer Juranek brings may not always hold up in court, which is potentially favorable for your outcome.

Your specific charge matters considerably here. If you were arrested for drug possession or larceny/theft, you're looking at dismissal rates around 60%—notably higher than Officer Juranek's average. Public intoxication charges, however, have a much lower dismissal rate of just 21.4% under this officer. Most of Officer Juranek's arrests fall into an "Other" category that includes various charges with a 49.1% dismissal rate. Where your charge falls in this breakdown will significantly affect what typically happens in similar cases.
