R W Gardner

You were arrested by Officer Gardner in Virginia Beach, where he's filed 349 cases. The good news: your case has a notably higher chance of dismissal than most. Gardner's dismissal rate is 48.2 percent—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent. This puts him in the 71st percentile for dismissal rates, meaning cases he arrests tend to survive scrutiny less often than those from typical officers. About half his arrests don't result in convictions, suggesting either the evidence he gathers faces judicial scrutiny or the charges don't always hold up in court.

Your outcome heavily depends on what you were charged with. If you face "Other" charges (Gardner's most common category), you're looking at a 54.8 percent dismissal rate—substantially better odds than average. However, if you were arrested for DUI/DWI, the picture darkens considerably: only 10.8 percent of those cases get dismissed, making conviction far more likely. Driving Suspended charges fall in the middle at 42.9 percent dismissal. Where your charge sits in this breakdown will be the strongest indicator of what typically happens next.
