One woman’s arrest over the weekend was her third time to be arrested in Greene County in less than two months’ time. In the three criminal cases now pending against her, she’s accused of disorderly conduct, domestic battery, invasion of privacy and false informing.

Dawn Marie Johnson, 29, was first arrested on Wednesday, May 8, in Bloomfield by Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor of the Bloomfield Police Department.

Jail and court records indicate her home address is in Bloomington.

She was booked in to the Greene County Jail where her bond was set at $1,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed. She posted $150 cash and was released.

When she appeared at her first initial hearing on Thursday, May 16, she was charged with:

Domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor.
Disorderly conduct – engaging in fighting or tumultuous conduct, a Class B misdemeanor.

She was also served with a no-contact order.

Less than a month later, on Sunday, June 2, Dawn Marie Johnson was arrested in Bloomfield by BPD Deputy Marshal Wayman JR Blazier. She was initially held without bond pending a court appearance.

When she appeared at her second initial hearing on Wednesday, June 5, she was charged with:

Invasion of privacy in violation of a protective order, a Class A misdemeanor.

In that case, her bond was set at $1,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed and she posted $100 cash and was released.

Then last Saturday, June 22, Dawn Marie Johnson was arrested again, once more by BPD Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor. She is being held without bond pending another appearance in court.

In the latest case, the preliminary charges filed against her include:

Invasion of privacy in violation of a protective order, a Class A misdemeanor.
False informing – gives a false report of commission of a crime, a Class B misdemeanor.
Disorderly conduct – engaging in fighting or tumultuous conduct, a Class B misdemeanor.

Officer Allor was dispatched around 3 a.m. last Saturday to a residence on South Seminary Street for a domestic dispute in progress. A caller had said Johnson was one of the people involved.

When Officer Allor arrived in the area, along with Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Davis Aerne, they encountered a man walking on South Seminary Street near Railroad Street. He was not cooperative in answering questions, showed signs of intoxication but did say there was no domestic dispute and that he was looking for $5 he lost. The officers doubted his story, knew he lived nearby and knew he had a protective order in place against Johnson.

Then the officers learned that the caller who reported the domestic said they saw Johnson running west on Railroad Street from Seminary Street.

The officers didn’t locate Johnson immediately but they parked where they could see the man’s house and Railroad Street. While waiting, they saw a car traveling in the area which made a turn without using a turn signal. When they conducted a traffic stop, they located Johnson – she was a passenger. Later, the driver was released from the scene.

According to a probable cause affidavit prepared by Officer Allor, in conversations with Johnson on the scene then later at the sheriff’s department, she told one story then another and another. The officer’s narrative about the interviews is six pages long. She made several claims then admitted she had lied, then told yet a different story.

To conclude, Johnson was booked in to jail at 4:27 a.m. on the above charges and will soon be scheduled to appear in court for her next initial hearing.
