Washington Juggalo Fights Gang Allegation During Trial

Here’s another article showing the world exactly what we marched for.  A Washington Juggalo named Steven Dodds was arrested on a burglary charge and is now on trial for it.  While what he attempted to do is wrong by almost anyone’s standards, the prosecuting attorney wants to DOUBLE HIS BAIL and lock him back up all because of the fact that he identifies as a Juggalo.

We’ll have to see whether that holds up or not, but it’s just one more case of misappropriated discrimination.  You can see the full article below:

Prosecutor Alleges ‘Juggalo’ Affiliation for Suspect in Winlock Burglary

Allegations: Steven E. Dodds Allegedly Doused the Porch of a Winlock Home With Lighter Fluid

While he has no previous criminal history, the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office argued Tuesday that a Winlock burglary suspect presented a risk to community safety due to alleged ties to the Juggalos.

The alleged victims “are very concerned about the safety of the people in this particular housing development,” said Chief Criminal deputy Brad Meagher on Tuesday.

Steven E. Dodds, 18, of Winlock, was arrested early Sunday morning after being found allegedly using a hammer to try to break a door handle at a residence on Northwest Kerron Avenue.

According to court documents, Dodds was disoriented and intoxicated when arrested. He also allegedly sprayed lighter fluid on the home’s porch with the intent of starting a fire to warm himself, a victim told police, according to court documents.

Dodds made his first appearance Monday in Lewis County Superior Court, but prosecutors asked for another day to file charges. He was released on $5,000 unsecured bail after family members pledged to get him to court the following day.

“I’m hearing a lot of accusations with absolutely no basis,” Defense attorney Rachael Tiller said Wednesday about the allegations of gang affiliation. “It’s just a lot of finger pointing.”

On Tuesday afternoon, Dodds was charged with second-degree burglary.

While on Monday Meagher said he wasn’t sure if the allegations warranted a second-degree burglary charge, on Tuesday he said police confirmed Dodds would have had to enter a secured and fenced area to access the property.

Meagher asked for increased bail of $10,000 and for Dodds to be taken back into custody Tuesday, citing new information about the suspect’s alleged ties to the Juggalos — a term used to describe fans of the band Insane Clown Posse, which has been identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a gang.

“What has changed from yesterday (is) the perception that this may have been an inadvertent trespassing, as opposed to what we know now,” Meagher said.

He added that Dodds has previously been accused of trespassing in the neighborhood.

“These folks are afraid of him,” he said.

Tiller argued against the increased bail. Superior Court Judge Joely O’Rourke maintained Dodds’ unsecured bail but required it had to be cosigned by his mother. He will also have a curfew and other conditions of his release.

His next court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

    Mono did say do your homework, and this pretty blatant. Granted the alleged burglary isnt good by anyone’s book, he has no record and that should speak louder than most everything else. Anything more than a weekend in jail and Restitution is crazy. Hope the best.

    Just a lil crazy tidbit for ya, my girl just got transferred from a processing Prison, when she was there she met a ‘lette who had just got out of Seg. B.c she had a Hatchetman tattoo so when she first got in they classified the girl as gang affiliated. Really crazy thing is, my gfs got a Hatchetgirl tat but they didn’t/couldn’t do anything since it wasnt documentend. I understand Twiztids probably trying to get a point across that some of the stories are blown out of proportion. And some people may bring it on themselves. But there is a consequence in the legal system for reppin Hatchet shit . As far as I’ve seen.

    Steven is a good kid yes he fucked up but so did the person who is throwing out all the allocation. This person had Steven babysit her kids ( for 3 year), mow their lawn and than as the audacity to call the prosecutor and say that she’s afraid for her community & herself. In fact she is the one who brought him to the property in the first place knowing he was fucked up so she tried sober up with water. And then she lost track of him. About that time Steven fell into the creek and was freezing. He was in Survivor mode when officer started to talking to him.
    What she should have done was take him home instead of taking responsibility on herself and taking him to the property where all this took place . I think this has been blown out of proportion so badly yes he’s a juggle no he does not do drugs he does not do the things that people say that Juggalos do we should be thankful that he’s not like the guy who just shot 27 people in a church. If you asked most anybody in this town about Steven it would be all good. I for one will vouch that Steven is very good kid and does not do drugs or burglarizes people. What band or music he listens to should not categorize him Lisa
