Selph Z

You were arrested by Officer Selph Z in Fairfax City, and your case sits in a notably different position than most Virginia arrests. Officer Selph Z dismisses cases at a 47.8% rate—significantly higher than the statewide average of 34.7%. This means nearly half of arrests made by this officer don't result in conviction, which ranks in the 70th percentile among Virginia officers. That 13-point gap above the state average suggests either the charges brought are weaker than typical, the officer's cases have evidentiary issues that prosecutors identify, or the court finds reasonable doubt more often with these arrests.

The vast majority of Officer Selph Z's arrests—168 out of 179 cases—are classified as "Other" charges, which carry a 49.6% dismissal rate. The remaining five cases involve larceny or theft, where dismissals drop to 40%. Without knowing your specific charge category, the general pattern indicates dismissals are more likely than convictions when this officer is involved. Your outcome will depend partly on charge type and the specific circumstances, but statistically you're looking at better-than-average odds of dismissal compared to statewide trends.
