Ask a Roanoke City attorney — freeYou were arrested by Officer Jenkins in Roanoke City, and the data shows your case falls into a pattern worth understanding. Out of 70 arrests Jenkins made, about 30% were dismissed and roughly 67% resulted in convictions. That dismissal rate is slightly lower than Virginia's statewide average of 35%, meaning cases Jenkins handles are somewhat less likely to get dropped. Compared to similar officers statewide, Jenkins ranks in the lower 38th percentile for dismissals, suggesting he's among those with lower dismissal rates.
Most of Jenkins's arrests fall under "Other" charges—59 out of 70 cases—with a 26% dismissal rate in that category. The remaining six cases involved Driving Suspended charges, which had an even lower dismissal rate of 17%. Where your charge fits in these categories matters: if you were arrested for Driving Suspended, the data shows those cases are harder to get dismissed. If your charge falls under "Other," you're looking at roughly one in four cases typically getting dismissed, though conviction remains the more common outcome.
