S A Batres

If you were arrested by Officer S A Batres in Prince William County, your case has a notably better-than-average chance of dismissal. Batres has a 45.1% dismissal rate across 118 cases—significantly higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts the officer in the 66th percentile among peers, meaning dismissals happen more frequently here than with most other officers. This could reflect how charges are initially filed, evidence quality, or how cases develop through the court process. Either way, nearly half of Batres's cases don't result in conviction, which is meaningful.

Most of Batres's arrests fall under miscellaneous charges classified as "Other" (91 cases), with a 42% dismissal rate in that category. The smaller batch of larceny or theft charges (5 cases) actually had a higher 50% dismissal rate. Where your charge lands within these categories matters, but the overall pattern suggests a significant portion of cases initiated by this officer encounter problems before trial. Your specific outcome will depend on the details of your arrest and charge, but the data shows this officer's cases don't follow a typical conviction path.
