Hurlock Man Arrested for Unlawful Imprisonment Released – Tuesday, February 19, 2008 Laurel- The Delaware State Police recently charged a Maryland man after he allegedly grabbed a woman inappropriately and refused to let her out of his van. On Monday, February 18, 2008 at approximately 3:30 p.m. troopers responded to the victim’s residence after she had been dropped off by her attacker. The 22 year old Laurel woman was visibly shaken and informed the troopers that she had voluntarily taken a ride from an acquaintance that grabbed her chest and then refused to let her out of his vehicle. Ronald T. Dixon, 29, of the 400 block of Taylor Avenue, Hurlock, Maryland allegedly picked the victim up at the Royal Farms on US13 near Blades. The victim had been dropped off by her boyfriend after an argument. The young woman agreed to the ride and while driving back to her residence, Dixon made unwanted sexual advances which made her very uncomfortable. She then asked Dixon to drop her off in the Bethel area and when he did not stop the vehicle, she became very scared. The victim told troopers, Dixon slowed the vehicle down and continued to grab her breast several times. Dixon’s behavior upset the victim even more. Once in the area of her residence, she informed Dixon to drop her off and she was able to flee and call the police. The victim sustained minor scratches to her chest and abdomen in the attack. On Monday, February 18, 2008, Troopers formally charged Dixon with the following criminal offenses: Unlawful Sexual Contact Third Degree (Misdemeanor) and Unlawful Imprisonment Second Degree (Misdemeanor). He was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown and released on $400.00 unsecured bond. There is no available photograph of Mr. Dixon. |
