Rockingham County · What happened in 82 cases involving this officer

Ask a Rockingham County attorney — freeYou were arrested by P W Knott in Rockingham County, and here's what the data shows: every single case this officer has brought—82 total—has been dismissed. That's extraordinarily unusual. Statewide in Virginia, only about 35% of cases get dismissed, so Knott sits at the 98th percentile for dismissals. This means either the charges filed lack sufficient evidence or legal foundation, or cases are dismissed for procedural reasons before conviction. None of these cases resulted in convictions. If you're trying to understand your own arrest, this pattern suggests dismissal is the overwhelmingly likely outcome.
The vast majority of Knott's cases fall under "Other" charges, meaning they don't fit standard categories like drug offenses or violent crimes. Those 81 "Other" charge cases also dismissed at 100%. Without knowing your specific charge type, the data still tells you that charges from this officer almost never survive court scrutiny. Your arrest is part of a consistent pattern where the judicial system has rejected the filed charges.
