R M Cirino

You were arrested by Officer Cirino in Chesterfield County, and your case follows a pattern that's fairly typical for this jurisdiction. About one in three cases filed by this officer gets dismissed—33.6 percent—which is slightly below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. Two out of three cases result in conviction. This officer's dismissal rate ranks at the 45th percentile among Virginia officers, meaning dismissals happen roughly as often as they do statewide. The difference is small enough that it doesn't suggest an unusual pattern either way.

Your outcome depends heavily on what you were charged with. Officer Cirino files mostly cases categorized as "Other" charges, where dismissals occur in about one-third of cases. If you were charged with larceny or theft, dismissals are much more common—over 80 percent. But if your charge is driving suspended, dismissals are rare at 14.3 percent. Finding out which category your specific charge falls into will give you a clearer picture of what typically happens in cases like yours.
