R P Mccarthy

If you were arrested by Officer R P Mccarthy in Fairfax County, your case has a notably higher chance of being dismissed than cases across Virginia. His dismissal rate is 59.5 percent compared to the statewide average of 34.7 percent—meaning cases he makes are dismissed at more than twice the rate. This pattern puts him in the 83rd percentile for dismissals among officers statewide, suggesting either the charges he brings face genuine legal obstacles or prosecutors find them difficult to prove. That said, 40.5 percent of his cases still result in conviction, so dismissal is far from guaranteed.

Your specific charge matters significantly. If you were charged with larceny or theft, dismissals happen in roughly 73 percent of cases he makes. Trespassing charges dismiss at 65.2 percent. Drug possession cases dismiss about 61.5 percent of the time. The broad "Other" category—which makes up half his arrests—sees a 52.5 percent dismissal rate. The variation across charges suggests some carry stronger evidence or legal standing than others when he makes the arrest.
