When Officer Harmon arrested you in Martinsville, you entered a case system where conviction is the likely outcome. Across his 193 cases, nearly 70% resulted in convictions while 30% were dismissed. That dismissal rate runs slightly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, and Officer Harmon's track record places him in the lower third among his peers—meaning dismissals happen less often in his cases than in most officers' cases. This pattern suggests a higher probability that charges filed by this officer survive initial scrutiny and proceed to conviction.

Most of Officer Harmon's arrests fall into miscellaneous charges labeled "Other," which make up 173 of his 193 cases with a 31.2% dismissal rate. His smaller group of Driving Suspended arrests shows a notably lower dismissal rate of 22.2%, meaning those charges stick more often. Where your charge falls among these categories significantly affects your odds, but either way, Officer Harmon's overall numbers indicate the cases he makes tend to hold up in court.
