(From Gwinnett Daily Post)<br> LAWRENCEVILLE - A Gwinnett County firefighter was arrested for the second time in two weeks after allegedly assaulting a woman at his Callie Still Road home near midnight on Feb. 25. <br> <br> According to warrants, Kenneth Lamar Dodson, 43, is charged with battery and pointing a pistol at another. Police said Dodson, a firefighter at Station No. 8 in Grayson, hit Kimberly Lynn Ringblom twice in the head, causing visible bodily harm. Dodson is also charged with pointing a semiautomatic pistol at Ringblom. <br> <br> The relationship between the two is unclear but arrest warrants label the incident as one of "family violence." <br> <br> Fire Department spokesman Capt. Thomas Rutledge confirmed Dodson is employed by the department but declined to discuss details of the case, calling it a "personal legal matter." <br> <br> "The Department is aware of the alleged charges against ... Kenneth Dodson," Rutledge said. "We are confident that charges will be adjudicated through the judicial system."<br> <br> Records show Dodson was arrested in 2008 on a charge of felony contempt of court after a Juvenile Court Judge found he owed more than $37,000 in child support and alimony payments to his ex-wife, Paige Lynn Dodson. <br> <br> Kenneth Dodson was jailed again on Feb. 12 for failure to pay child support, records show. A $10,500 bond was set and Dodson was released the same day. <br> <br> A voice mail left for Dodson was not immediately returned. <br> <br> Jail records show Dodson is free on $4,800 surety bond<br> <br> <br> 2008 felony arrest, Feb. 12th arrest again for failure to pay child support, misusing a firearm and now he's free again and still employed in Gwinnett public safety. IF he has a felony conviction and since he now is charged with domestic violence and "pointing a pistol at another" he is not eligible to currently possess firearms or ammunition and he should not be a county government safety employee unless he is cleared of all related charges. This “hothead” lives about a mile from me and I don’t want this reckless and hot-tempered individual running into me.
