You were arrested by J Vsp Gough in Hampton, and the numbers show a pattern that differs significantly from typical Virginia cases. Officer Gough's dismissal rate sits at just 7%, while statewide the average is 34.7%—meaning cases from this officer are dismissed far less often than you'd normally expect. With a 90.7% conviction rate, cases resulting in guilty verdicts are the dominant outcome. This places Officer Gough in the bottom 3.2% of Virginia officers when it comes to dismissal rates, suggesting the cases filed tend to proceed to conviction at unusually high rates.
The vast majority of Officer Gough's arrests—907 out of 923—fall under "Other" charges, which is a broad category covering miscellaneous offenses. Those cases have the same 7% dismissal rate as the officer's overall pattern. The small number of Driving Suspended cases (15 total) show a similarly low dismissal rate of 6.7%. This consistency across charge types suggests the low dismissal pattern isn't tied to one specific offense but reflects how cases from this officer generally move through the Hampton court system.
