R L Tingle

You were arrested by Officer Tingle in Virginia Beach, which operates as an independent city with its own court system separate from surrounding counties. Looking at his overall record: he has a 28.3% dismissal rate across 151 cases, which runs about 6.4 percentage points lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This means cases filed by Officer Tingle are dismissed somewhat less frequently than typical, though he still secures convictions in roughly 68% of his cases.

Your outcome depends significantly on what charge you're facing. Officer Tingle has filed most cases under "Other" charges (91 cases, 31.5% dismissal rate), which makes this category closest to his overall pattern. If you were charged with DUI/DWI, the data shows zero dismissals in his 15 such cases—an unusually strict record. Conversely, all 11 drug possession cases he filed were dismissed, suggesting very different circumstances in those arrests. Public intoxication cases fell in the middle at 28.6% dismissal. Understanding which charge category applies to you provides the clearest picture of what typically happens in cases like yours.
