We’re leaving names out to protect the victims.
A disturbing late-night 911 call has once again put the spotlight on a familiar problem in Scioto County: what happens when a long-time offender with nowhere to go ends up trapped in close quarters with family — and spirals.
The caller, a 33-year-old woman, told dispatch she woke up sick in bed to find her boyfriend’s biological father standing over her naked.
She was horrified. Shaking. And trapped inside a tiny 14-by-40 cabin with him.
The man — Dwayne Anderson a 56-year-old convicted felon recently kicked out of rehab because he couldn’t afford to stay — had reportedly been acting erratically all day. His son told dispatchers the behavior only happens when drugs are involved, adding that his father had previously stolen someone’s ID while high.
On this day, the man claimed he was a federal parole officer.
He rambled.
He prayed loudly.
He talked in circles.
Then he locked himself in the bathroom.
The woman told dispatch she didn’t buy his story that he was “confused” about where he was.
“This place is too small,” she said. “He’s been here before.”
Inside the cabin at the time:
• The shaken victim
• Her boyfriend, armed with a hammer to protect his family
• A 14-year-old disabled child
At one point, the residents told dispatch the man had his “wiener in her face.” They explicitly asked deputies to charge him with sexual harassment.
Instead, he was ultimately booked on two probation violations, with a voyeurism charge also appearing later in municipal court records. As of this writing, he remains in the Scioto County Jail.
The victim declined an ambulance that night but said she planned to go to urgent care the next morning. Dispatchers described her as visibly distraught and physically ill during the call.
And here’s the part that hits hardest.
This wasn’t some one-off meltdown.
This was the latest chapter in a 35-year pattern of violence, chaos, and repeat arrests.
📋 35 Years of Arrests, Charges, and Convictions
Court records show a pattern stretching back more than three decades:
- 1990 – Charged with disorderly conduct
- 1991 – Charged with criminal damaging, criminal trespass, and open container
- 1992 – Charged with disorderly conduct
- 1993 (July) – Charged with persistent disorderly conduct
- 1993 (September) – Charged with resisting arrest, drug abuse, and domestic violence
▸ Sentenced to 30 days in jail, with 23 days suspended
- 1996 – Charged with domestic violence and assault
▸ Placed on two years probation and ordered to stay away from the victim
- 1997 – Charged with fleeing and eluding
- 1999 – Convicted of criminal damaging and disorderly conduct
▸ Sentenced to 60 days jail (suspended) and ordered to pay restitution to the Royal Lounge
- 2003 – Charged with criminal trespass and obstruction of official business
▸ Sentenced to 20 days jail (suspended)
- 2004 – Charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and falsification
▸ Sentenced to 90 days jail (suspended)
- 2006 – Charged with disrupting public service, breaking and entering, and vandalism
▸ Sentenced to 18 months in prison
- 2017 – Convicted of violating a protection order
- 2020 – Convicted of possessing criminal tools and criminal damaging
▸ Sentenced to probation, which was violated multiple times
- 2021 – Convicted of theft
▸ Sentenced to 90 days jail (90 days suspended)
Over the decades, he cycled through short jail stays, suspended sentences, probation, violations of probation, and even an 18-month prison sentence — only to keep coming back.
Again.
And again.
And again.
For years, this man’s family has reportedly dealt with the fallout: instability, drug-fueled behavior, and now — terror inside their own home.
It also raises uncomfortable questions we’ve covered before:
What happens when someone with a decades-long criminal record gets released from treatment simply because they can’t pay?
Where are they supposed to go?
And who ends up paying the price when they unravel?
This time, it was a sick woman waking up to a naked man standing over her.
A frightened family barricaded in a tiny cabin.
And a child caught in the middle.
We’ll continue following this case as it moves through court.
Because stories like this don’t happen in a vacuum — and they don’t end when the cruiser pulls away.
