You were arrested by Officer T Shores in Goochland County, and the data shows a pattern worth understanding. Across 507 cases, Shores has a 22.5% dismissal rate—notably lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%. This means cases involving this officer are dismissed less often than typical, putting him in the bottom 22% of officers statewide. A 77.2% conviction rate suggests the charges that stick tend to result in guilty findings, but the low dismissal rate indicates fewer cases are being dropped before trial.

Most of Shores' arrests fall under "Other" charges (459 cases) with a 22.8% dismissal rate. However, DUI/DWI cases—19 total—show a 0% dismissal rate, meaning every single DUI arrest by this officer resulted in conviction rather than dismissal. Driving Suspended charges (13 cases) had a 15.4% dismissal rate. If your charge falls into the DUI category, the data shows extremely strong prosecution outcomes in those cases. For other charge types, roughly one in five dismissals occurred, but nearly four in five resulted in conviction.
