You were arrested by Officer M D Brill in Fauquier County, and the data shows a significant pattern worth understanding. Out of nearly 1,900 cases this officer has brought, 80.5% resulted in convictions while only 19.5% were dismissed. That's well below Virginia's statewide dismissal average of 34.7%—meaning cases involving this officer are substantially less likely to be dropped. Officer Brill ranks in the bottom 17.5% statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting the charges he files tend to stick in court more often than those from most other Virginia officers.

The vast majority of Officer Brill's arrests fall into "Other" charges rather than specific high-volume offenses, which makes it harder to predict outcomes based on charge type alone. The one charge with significant volume—Driving Suspended—showed a 0% dismissal rate across eight cases. Since your specific charge likely falls within that broad "Other" category, what matters most is that Officer Brill's cases historically survive court challenges at notably higher rates than the state average. This suggests either very solid case documentation from this officer or a pattern of charges that prosecutors pursue aggressively.
