According to the affidavit, the victim claimed Dawson got out of the Land Rover, walked up to her car, demanded money or her medication, and threatened to kill her if she didn’t comply.
The victim attempted to exit her car, but Dawson refused, closing the door on her left leg, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Dawson urged a guy inside the Land Rover to get his pistol out of the vehicle, which led to an argument between the victim and Dawson on the front lawn.
According to the affidavit, Dawson threatened to kill the victim while keeping the gun at his side during the argument. The victim identified the gun to authorities as a silver stub nose with a wooden grip. The victim claimed that she and her friend had finally been able to enter her home when Dawson fled because he knew the police were about to arrive.
The victim told the police that she only knew Dawson by his nickname “G” when they first met him four months ago through one of her daughters.
According to the statement, when police asked Dawson how he found out about her prescription medication, she replied that either her daughter or his ex-girlfriend had told him.
The victim informed law enforcement. According to the affidavit, Dawson’s girlfriend was dismissed after being discovered stealing from her. According to the complaint, his girlfriend became agitated and broke the victim’s glass. According to the paper, the victim answered yes when the police inquired if she wanted to file charges.
