If you were arrested by Officer Hazlitt in Chesterfield County, the data suggests you have a better-than-average chance of having your case dismissed. Officer Hazlitt's dismissal rate of 45.1% significantly exceeds Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—placing him in the top third of officers statewide. This 10.4 percentage point gap means cases he brings are more likely to be dropped or resolved without conviction than the typical Virginia arrest. That said, he still secures convictions in about 54% of cases, so dismissal is far from guaranteed.

Your specific outcome depends heavily on what you were charged with. The "Other" category—which makes up most of his arrests—shows a 55.2% dismissal rate, suggesting genuine vulnerabilities in those cases. However, if you were charged with DUI/DWI, Public Intoxication, or Driving Suspended, the picture is starkly different: Officer Hazlitt has a perfect conviction record on those charges across his recent cases, with zero dismissals. Where your charge falls within these categories will likely matter more than the overall statistics.
