V A Grimaldos

If you were arrested by Officer Grimaldos in Prince William County, you're in a notably favorable position compared to most defendants statewide. His dismissal rate is 56.1 percent—more than 21 percentage points higher than Virginia's average of 34.7 percent. This puts him in the 80th percentile for dismissals, meaning cases he makes are significantly more likely to be dismissed than cases from other officers. That doesn't guarantee your outcome, but it reflects a pattern where the evidence or charges often don't hold up in court.

Your specific charge matters considerably. If you were arrested for a weapons offense or larceny/theft, dismissals have been extremely common in Grimaldos's cases—both hitting 100 percent. Other charges follow the overall pattern at roughly 54 percent dismissal. DUI/DWI is the exception: only 10 percent of those cases were dismissed, suggesting those arrests face much steeper odds. Most of his cases fall into a broad "Other" category, which has a 54 percent dismissal rate.
