If you were arrested by Officer Ryan in Caroline County, you're facing steeper odds than most defendants statewide. His cases result in dismissals about 11 percentage points less often than Virginia's average—23.8% versus 34.7%—placing him in the bottom quarter of officers. This means convictions are his dominant outcome at 76%, which is substantially higher than typical. The pattern suggests either that he makes arrests on stronger evidence than average, or that the cases he brings move through the system with fewer dismissals along the way.

The vast majority of Officer Ryan's arrests fall under "Other" charges, which still see dismissals in roughly one-quarter of cases. However, if you were arrested for Driving Suspended, the data shows zero dismissals across his 15 such cases—all resulted in conviction. Your specific charge type will significantly shape your likely outcome, and where your charge lands in that breakdown matters considerably for understanding what typically happens next.
