The Guy that Made Judge Lemons Famous Arrested for 51st Time
One of the Scioto County Jail’s most frequent visitors is back behind bars after he was booked into the Scioto County Jail on Thursday on a charge of domestic violence.
Dallas Milar, 46, is locked up for the 51st time. Milar was on parole from his sentences for escape, breaking and entering, and attempted corruption of another with drugs when he was arrested for parole violation, probation violation, and domestic violence back in January. He’s been arrested 9 times for parole violation since 2020 and four times for criminal trespass.
If you’ll recall, Milar was a central figure in the case that prompted the State of Ohio to reprimand Judge Alan Lemons for his actions in removing Milar’s children from a dangerous home situation.
Lemons said he was frustrated with Scioto County CPS that he visited a home and issued an order to remove children from what he felt was an unsafe situation.
Back in 2017, Milar was arrested for corrupting a minor with drugs and put in the Scioto County Jail. The children’s mother was also incarcerated at the time. The children were in the care of their invalid grandfather.
A worried school resource officer contacted a member of the judge’s staff because he was worried for the children’s safety. As a result, a member of Judge Lemons’ staff and the father’s probation officer visited the house. They discovered an overflowing toilet, a house full of dog feces, a broken refrigerator, no beds for the children, and that the water had been turned off.
However, when a CPS worker visited the home, she told the court that CPS protocols prevented her from immediately removing the children. When the judge pressed her over the decision, the caseworker allegedly admitted she “wouldn’t leave a dog in that house.”
A frustrated Judge Lemons decided to visit the home where he discovered the grandfather’s oxygen tank next to an open flame, a filthy house, no refrigerator, and the children inappropriately dressed for the weather. The judge decided to go ahead and issue an emergency order to remove the children without consulting CPS or the parents of the children that he had visited the home.
Other charges include escape, assault, breaking and entering, and menacing. In fact, Milar’s record is so long that the jail’s website times out when you try to load all of his arrests.
