You were arrested by Officer S Winkler in Loudoun County, and the data shows his cases move through the system very differently than most officers. His dismissal rate is 18.8%, which is substantially lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This puts him in the 16th percentile among officers statewide—meaning cases he files are dismissed far less often than cases filed by his peers. A conviction rate of 79.2% is correspondingly high. This pattern suggests that either the charges Winkler brings are particularly strong, or that judges and prosecutors treat his arrests differently than those of typical officers.

The vast majority of Winkler's arrests—199 out of 206 cases—fall under "Other" charges with an 18.8% dismissal rate. His five reckless driving arrests had zero dismissals. Without knowing your specific charge, you're likely in that large "Other" category, where roughly four in five cases end in conviction. Understanding whether your charge is among the ones Winkler most frequently arrests for matters, since his pattern across all charges leans heavily toward conviction compared to statewide norms.
