N; Rpd Brown

You were arrested by Officer Brown in Tazewell County, and the data shows you're facing an uphill battle. Brown's cases result in convictions 74.4% of the time, which is significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 65.3%. More importantly, Brown dismisses charges in only 23.8% of cases compared to the statewide average of 34.7%—meaning cases brought by this officer are substantially less likely to be dropped. Brown ranks in the bottom quarter of officers statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting the arrests he makes tend to stick in court.

Your specific charge matters significantly. If you were charged with obstruction, the data is stark: zero dismissals in 23 obstruction cases Brown filed. Driving suspended charges he brought resulted in dismissals just 16.7% of the time. However, if you're facing public intoxication, there's more variability—half of those charges were dismissed. For the broad "Other" category, which represents most of Brown's arrests, dismissal rates sit around 23%, slightly below his overall average.
