If you were arrested by Officer J W in Pulaski County, your case faces significantly longer odds than the typical Virginia arrest. Your dismissal rate stands at 15.9 percent—nearly 19 percentage points below the statewide average of 34.7 percent. This means cases from this officer result in conviction about 83 percent of the time, placing him in the bottom 12 percent of officers statewide. That pattern suggests either exceptionally strong cases or a notably different charging approach than his peers across Virginia.

Most arrests by this officer fall into an "Other" category where dismissal rates mirror the overall 15.9 percent figure. When specific charges do appear—like Driving Suspended, Public Intoxication, or Trespassing—dismissal rates cluster in the 12 to 29 percent range, with Trespassing showing slightly better odds at 28.6 percent. Your specific charge type matters, but across the board, cases from this officer move toward conviction far more consistently than statewide patterns would predict.
