Report: St. Johns County man allegedly hits random girl in face, fights girl's friends, deputies say

Dylan Kenneth Dodson, 24, of St. Johns County was arrested Friday night after he allegedly hit a girl in her face, according to a St. Johns County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Deputies said the girl, a juvenile, did not know Dodson and said he appeared to be impaired by some kind of drug.

She told deputies, Dodson walked up to her while she was with a group of friends and hit her in the nose.

According to an arrest report, the girl's boyfriend pushed Dodson, defending the girl, prior to a fight that broke out between Dodson and her friends.

When deputies arrived to the scene, the report states, Dodson was belligerent.

He was immediately put in handcuffs and placed in the patrol car where he reportedly began kicking the door, causing minor damage to the car.

Dodson was then placed in leg restraints.

While on the way to the St. Johns County Jail, he yelled, "Your a b****" and "I'm going to f*** you up," to the deputy, the report stated.

Dodson faces a felony charge for cruelty toward a child and a misdeanor for resisting an officer.
