W J Carter

You were arrested by W J Carter in Fairfax County, and the data shows an unusually high dismissal rate in cases he files. Carter's cases are dismissed 76.9% of the time—more than double the statewide average of 34.7%. This puts him in the 92nd percentile for dismissals among Virginia officers, meaning very few officers have dismissal rates this high. The conviction rate in his cases is only 22.6%. This pattern suggests either that Carter makes arrests based on weaker evidence, charges don't hold up in court, or cases are being dismissed for procedural reasons rather than guilt or innocence.

Your charge matters significantly. If you were arrested for larceny or theft, about three-quarters of Carter's cases in that category get dismissed. For "Other" charges, the dismissal rate climbs to 82.4%. However, trespassing and drug possession charges have somewhat lower dismissal rates—around 60-62%—though still well above what typically happens statewide. The specific facts of your case will determine the outcome, but the data shows charges don't automatically stick in Carter's cases.
