Virginia processes over 300,000 criminal cases annually across its General District and Circuit Courts. The most common charges include DUI/DWI, assault, drug possession, theft, and traffic offenses. MohnMatrix indexes these records in real-time so you always have the latest data.
Virginia has one of the oldest court systems in the United States, with roots dating back to 1619. Today, the Commonwealth operates a unified four-tier system: the Supreme Court of Virginia (7 justices), the Court of Appeals (17 judges), 31 Circuit Courts, and 32 General District Courts. Each tier plays a specific role in how criminal records are created and stored.
General District Courts handle the bulk of criminal cases — misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and preliminary felony hearings. These are "courts not of record," meaning proceedings are not transcribed. Circuit Courts handle felony trials, civil cases over $25,000, and appeals. These are "courts of record," with full transcripts maintained. When you search someone on MohnMatrix, we pull records from both court levels across all 3846 Virginia cities.
Assault and battery, malicious wounding, robbery, kidnapping, sexual offenses, and homicide. Virginia Code Title 18.2 classifies these from Class 1 misdemeanor (simple assault) to Class 1 felony (first-degree murder). Domestic assault against a family member (§ 18.2-57.2) is a Class 1 misdemeanor with enhanced penalties for repeat offenders.
Virginia decriminalized simple marijuana possession (up to 1 oz) in 2021, reducing it to a $25 civil penalty. However, possession of Schedule I/II substances (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine) remains a Class 5 felony. Distribution charges carry significantly higher penalties based on substance type and quantity.
Virginia DUI (BAC ≥ 0.08%) is a Class 1 misdemeanor. First offense carries a $250 minimum fine and 12-month license revocation. Second offense within 5 years carries mandatory minimum 20 days in jail. Third offense within 10 years is a Class 6 felony with mandatory 6-month minimum jail sentence.
Petit larceny (theft under $1,000) is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Grand larceny (theft of $1,000+) is a felony. Burglary, embezzlement, fraud, and receiving stolen goods are charged based on value and circumstances. Property crime records are among the most frequently searched on MohnMatrix.
The Virginia State Police (VSP) operates the Central Criminal Records Exchange (CCRE), which is the Commonwealth's official repository for criminal history information. The CCRE receives arrest and disposition data from every law enforcement agency and court in Virginia.
The VSP also maintains several publicly searchable databases that MohnMatrix incorporates into background checks:
