William Cheek

You were arrested by William Cheek, who works in Amherst County. His cases result in conviction far more often than the Virginia average. While statewide, about 35% of charges are dismissed, only 10% of Cheek's cases are dismissed—putting him in the bottom 5.5% of officers statewide for dismissal rates. His 85% conviction rate is substantially higher than typical. This pattern suggests cases he arrests on tend to move through the court system with fewer obstacles or legal challenges that result in dismissal.

The vast majority of Cheek's arrests fall under "Other" charges, which represent 1,423 of his 1,469 cases with a 10% dismissal rate. He has also made 46 driving suspended arrests, and those have an even lower dismissal rate at 4.7%. If you were arrested for driving suspended, the data shows that charge has historically moved toward conviction in his cases more consistently than his other arrests. Knowing your specific charge matters for understanding your own odds, but across his full record, dismissals are rare.
