M J Roberts

You were arrested by Officer M J Roberts in Amelia County, and the data shows you're facing steeper odds than typical Virginia cases. Roberts has dismissed 27.9% of charges—notably lower than the statewide average of 34.7%. This means cases from this officer are more likely to result in conviction. With a 71.7% conviction rate, you're looking at a jurisdiction and officer pattern where charges tend to stick. Roberts ranks in the bottom third statewide for dismissals, suggesting the cases reaching court are prosecuted more aggressively than average.

The vast majority of Roberts's arrests—354 of 368—fall under "Other" charges, which carry a 28.2% dismissal rate. This "Other" category likely encompasses misdemeanors and lower-level felonies specific to county jurisdiction. Your charge almost certainly falls here, meaning you're seeing the typical outcome pattern for Roberts's most common arrests. The dismissal rate in this category is still notably below what happens statewide, indicating prosecutors are winning at higher rates in Amelia County courts.
