You were arrested by Officer Phillips in Nottoway County, where he's filed 69 cases. His dismissal rate of 28.3% is noticeably lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, meaning cases he brings are convicted at higher rates. This puts him in the bottom third of officers statewide. That said, roughly one in four cases Phillips files still get dismissed—so dismissal remains a real possibility for you, not a certainty.

The vast majority of Phillips's cases fall under "Other" charges, which have a 30.2% dismissal rate. Since specific charge data isn't broken out further in these records, your outcome will depend heavily on what you were actually charged with and the specific facts of your arrest. Dismissal rates can vary significantly by charge type, so understanding your particular charge category matters more than Phillips's overall statistics.
