K J; Pcso Hodge

You were arrested by an officer whose cases move very differently through Virginia's court system than most officers do. PCSO Hodge's dismissal rate sits at just 11.9 percent—dramatically lower than the statewide average of 34.7 percent. This puts him in the bottom 7.5 percent of officers statewide, meaning his cases are far less likely to be dismissed before conviction. His conviction rate of 86.4 percent is correspondingly high. This pattern suggests cases he files tend to proceed to guilty verdicts at rates well above what typically happens across Virginia.

The breakdown matters for understanding your situation. Most of PCSO Hodge's cases—54 out of 80—fall under "Other" charges, which have only a 7.7 percent dismissal rate. If you were charged with larceny or theft, your situation looks different: those 12 cases had a 30 percent dismissal rate, closer to what you'd see statewide. Where your charge falls within these categories will significantly affect what typically happens in similar cases from this officer.
