You were arrested by Officer M Mebane in Portsmouth, and the data shows an unusual pattern in how your case is likely to be resolved. Mebane has a dismissal rate of 64.8%, compared to Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%—meaning cases involving this officer get dismissed at nearly double the state rate. Mebane ranks in the 87th percentile for dismissals statewide, which suggests courts consistently find problems with how charges are presented or evidence is handled. This pattern suggests your case has a substantially higher chance of dismissal than typical Virginia arrests.

The specific charge matters significantly. Mebane's most common arrests fall under "Other" charges (96 cases), which dismiss 55.4% of the time—still well above the state average. But if you were charged with weapons, trespassing, or theft, the data shows 100% dismissal rates across those categories, though these represent smaller sample sizes. Portsmouth operates as an independent city with its own court system, which means your case won't be influenced by county-level patterns. The consistently high dismissal rates across nearly all charge types under this officer suggest systemic issues affecting the entire range of arrests.
