If you were arrested by S L Williams in Roanoke County, here's what the numbers show about your case: Officer Williams has a 36.6% dismissal rate—slightly higher than Virginia's 34.7% statewide average—meaning cases are dismissed somewhat more often than typical. However, with a 53.5% conviction rate, about half of all arrests result in convictions. You're essentially looking at roughly even odds between conviction and dismissal, which tracks close to statewide patterns. Officer Williams sits at the median performance level among peers, suggesting neither unusually strict nor unusually lenient charging.
