Tyler Hinman

You were arrested by Tyler Hinman in Northampton County, and your case follows a pattern worth understanding. His dismissal rate of 24.3 percent is notably lower than Virginia's statewide average of 34.7 percent—meaning cases he files are dismissed less often than typical. This puts him in the bottom quartile of officers statewide, suggesting his arrests tend to hold up through the court system more frequently. His conviction rate of 75.3 percent reflects this pattern: most people arrested by him end up convicted. This doesn't mean your case will definitely go the same way, but it tells you Hinman's cases generally result in convictions rather than dismissals.

The vast majority of Hinman's cases fall under "Other" charges—2,444 out of 2,462 cases—and those have a 24.4 percent dismissal rate. He's also made 11 Driving Suspended arrests with an 18.2 percent dismissal rate, which is even lower. Where your specific charge lands within these categories matters, but understand that Hinman's overall track record shows he files cases that prosecutors and courts tend to see through to conviction.
