S B Shoemaker

You were arrested by Officer S B Shoemaker in Henrico County, where this officer has handled 556 cases. Your case faces a dismissal rate of about 39 percent—slightly better odds than the Virginia statewide average of 35 percent. About 60 percent of cases result in conviction. Shoemaker's dismissal rate puts them at the middle of the range compared to other officers statewide, meaning outcomes aren't unusually favorable or unfavorable relative to peers. The real question for your situation depends on what you were charged with.

Nearly all of Shoemaker's cases (546 out of 556) fall into miscellaneous charges beyond the common categories tracked separately. Those charges dismiss about 40 percent of the time. The one exception is driving suspended charges—six cases with zero dismissals. If that's your charge, the data shows a much steeper hill. If you fall into the broader "other" category, the dismissal likelihood aligns with what happens statewide.
