A man who has a history of smashing windows to indulge his fetish for female mannequins could draw a long prison term for his latest arrest. Ronald A. Dotson, 39, of Detroit faces up to life in prison if convicted of a charge of attempted breaking and entering at a cleaning-supply company in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale.
The potential life sentence is because prosecutors charged him as a habitual offender. Authorities say he has at least six convictions for breaking and entering and a stint in state prison over the last 13 years.
Ferndale District Judge Joseph Longo ordered Dotson to stand trial following a preliminary examination on Thursday, The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reported. The judge ordered him jailed unless he posts a $15,000 bond.
Dotson was arrested Oct. 9 after police say he smashed a window at a cleaning-supply company to get at a female mannequin dressed in a black and white French maid's uniform. He had been out of prison for less than a week.
Dotson was arrested in Ferndale in July 2000 and later convicted for breaking and entering at a women's clothing shop to get at a mannequin in a pink dress with bobbed hair.
Ferndale police also arrested Dotson in 1993 after finding him in an alley behind a woman's store with three lingerie-clad mannequins. He also has similar convictions in Detroit and suburban Oak Park.

Ah, shoot, already posted. Please delete this thread.
Ridiculous. Buy him his own mannequin and save everyone some money.
Let them crack his skull, lift the hood, and replace the timing belt, few cracked hoses and a filter.
You could charge half of congress with that.
I agree. But, what a weirdo.
Ah yes, the bleeding-heart wing of FR has arrived.
The scumbag deserves to rot in prison. Had he gotten away with this he would have likely broke into some woman's home and tried to do the real thing.

Hey, well who wouldn't.
At some point, enough is enough. Lock his ass up.
while an 'intern' fetishist is on the loose...
Put him on work release, put him on house arrest, whatever. But our prisons are packed to the brim, and I for one do not want to be taxed even more to build new ones.
Not to mention the fact that our courts are overloaded, our cops are overworked, and it is all due to over criminalization of our citizens.
Child rapists get less time than this, and then get out for good behavior because of over crowding so they can fit guys like this one in.
Violent offenders belong in jail or in the electric chair. Nonviolent need to pay their own way, not leech off of others, which is what happens when they go to jail.
Unless you are under the impression that "the gubmint" pays for it all, and I do not think that you are.
"TR-6? I prefer to think of her as... Elaine."
The guy is a career criminal. He belongs in prison. Had he gotten away with this, he would have moved up to someone's home.
Don't be so rough on the guy. Its just an alternate lifestyle. (Sarcasm)
See post# 14.
Didn't they have a movie in the 80's that was based on a mannequine fetish?
what the hell is wrong with you? reread the darn article.
