(WSB Radio) A Gwinnett County firefighter is out on bond after his second arrest in as many weeks.

43 year old Kenneth Dodson, who works out of the fire station in Grayson, is charged with hitting a woman at his home on Callie Still Road last week and pointing a gun at her.

Dodson was arrested last year over $37,000 in back child support and alimony to his ex-wife.  He was jailed last month.

What others are saying

  • Felony Child Support?
    Wait a minute, he was found to be in "Felony" contempt of court for owing child support? The state takes his children, imposes a debt upon him whether he can pay it or not, then throws him in jail. when he does not... a felony charge?... OMG! We live in a true communist state.

    It has nothing to do with children but everything to do with expanding the power of the state.

    Family Law (incl. matrimonial & paternal fraud) is the only area of law where the victim is further victimized by the state.

    *Matrimonial Fraud - where one party marries the other for the intention of gaining some perceived value from the union such as a child, wealth, alimony, child support, etc.

    *Paternal Fraud – is where the named father is not the biological father and does not know that he is not. Yet is led to believe he is for the purpose of holding him “responsible” to obtain a financial gain from it.

    A woman can marry you, get pregnant, say you are the daddy, get the courts after you, & legally extort money from you. Don't comply, go to jail = a debtors prison = illegal in the US. It does not matter if the child is “biologically”yours. The state doesn't care. All she has to say is that it is & the state will come after you. They will justify it by claiming that you “set up a system of care & maintenance of the child.” They just want some man, any man, to pay extortion money to her so the state does not have to pay welfare.

    If the child should be yours, the state will remove your “natural rights', & supplant them with a “privilege” (rights & privileges are not the same see in Black's Law dict.). The mother receives sole parental rights. You will not have a say in anything involving the child unless the mother allows it.

    Child support is de facto alimony that women were failing to get because they were “equal” to men. In the 1960's or so, this state took a $250 mil. payment from the federal government to enact child support legislation. They sold fathers out!

    The idea that children go with women is only a belief over the last 100 years or so. Before then, children always went with the father (unless he gave them up). In old English law, the only times children went with the mothers was in the issues of cattle & slaves. (slaves = any similarity today?) Look on the internet:SELECTED MAXIM’S OF LAW FOR FATHERS RIGHTS. It is an anglefire page. Also get “The Law” by Frederic Bastiat. He was a French economist in the 1850's who argued against socialism. Both are a must read.

    The current practice of this removal of the father is a socialist cause, designed to destroy the family & empower the state. Look at current events.
  • Firefighter???
    David my man, you certainly made your case, with refs and citings. Now let's see what the powers that be will do, now that it is clear that this person is still on their payroll.
  • Dodson at my home
    Dodson came to my home when a neighbor reported that I had an outside fire buring. I find it very amuzing that this individual gave me the riot act over legalities.

    Won't be the first in Gwinnett...home of if we don't acknlowledge it no one will know it and hold Gwinnett accountable
  • So much more to the story...
    (From Gwinnett Daily Post)
    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.

    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.

    The relationship between the two is unclear but arrest warrants label the incident as one of "family violence."

    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."

    "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."

    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.

    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.

    A voice mail left for Dodson was not immediately returned.

    Jail records show Dodson is free on $4,800 surety bond


    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.
