R T Charlwood

You were arrested by Officer Charlwood in Prince William County, and your case is more likely to be dismissed than cases statewide. Charlwood dismisses cases at a 42.7% rate, notably higher than Virginia's 34.7% average—placing him in the 62nd percentile among officers. This suggests the evidence or circumstances in cases he files don't always hold up in court. That said, he still convicts 56.8% of the time, so dismissal is far from guaranteed. Your specific outcome depends heavily on what you were charged with.

If you were arrested for larceny or theft, you're in the strongest position—Charlwood's theft cases get dismissed 90% of the time, which is dramatically different from his other cases. Drug possession charges show mixed results at 42.9% dismissal. However, if you face public intoxication charges, Charlwood has never had one dismissed in his record. The largest group of his arrests—nearly 81%—fall under "Other" charges, which dismiss at 38.5%. Finding where your specific charge fits will help you understand what typically happens.
