You were arrested by L B Pitts in Virginia Beach, and the data shows a notably strict pattern. Pitts secures convictions in 82.8% of cases—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 65.3%. His dismissal rate of 16.9% ranks in the bottom 13.6% of all Virginia officers, meaning nearly four out of five people arrested by him end up convicted. This suggests a prosecutorial approach focused on cases prosecutors believe will stick, though it also means fewer cases get resolved through dismissal compared to what typically happens statewide.
The bulk of Pitts's cases fall under "Other" charges (1,911 cases with a 16.9% dismissal rate), making it difficult to pinpoint exactly how your charge performs. However, the data shows variation: Obstruction cases dismissed at 50%, Driving Suspended at 14.3%, and DUI/DWI at 0%. Where your specific charge falls within these categories will matter for your outcome, but overall, Pitts's track record suggests a conviction-oriented approach across most charge types.
