T E Bennett

You were arrested by Officer T E Bennett in Colonial Heights, a city with its own court system separate from the surrounding county. The good news: cases from this officer have a 58.7% dismissal rate, which is dramatically higher than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This means the cases Bennett brings are substantially more likely to fall apart before conviction. You're in the 82nd percentile for dismissal rates among Virginia officers—Bennett's cases simply don't hold up as often as most. With a 40.3% conviction rate, you have better odds of avoiding conviction here than in most parts of the state.

Where your specific charge lands matters significantly. If you were arrested for drug possession or weapons offenses, dismissal rates exceed 87%, making these charges particularly vulnerable in court. Other miscellaneous charges still see 52% dismissal rates. However, DUI/DWI is the exception—only 19% get dismissed, suggesting Bennett's DUI cases are handled differently and more likely to result in conviction. Your charge type will be the strongest indicator of what actually happens next.
