A Detroit Michigan man, who admitted to a sexual fetish for female shaped mannequins was sentenced to more than a year in prison after repeatedly breaking into storefront windows.
Ronald Dotson, 39, was sentenced to 18 months to 30 years on charges of breaking and entering, and being a habitual criminal.
He was arrested in October after police spotted him near a smashed storefront window in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak. The storefront window contained a mannequin dressed in a french maid outfit.
His arrest came less than a week after he had been paroled for his sixth break and entering conviction in 13 years.
In some of the previous cases mannequins were involved. Apparently police once found him in an alley behind a womans clothing store with three mannequins dressed in lingerie.
“I’ve never been able to take care of myself,” Dotson told Judge Denise Langford Morris at sentencing.
Morris acknowledged that Dotson had never assaulted a person but said his behavior “strikes fear in the community.”
