Finally Darrell is arrested. He has caused so much damage throughout this community & Southeast with his drug dealing, sex offending behavior. There are many who have been leaving tips and pointing in his direction for years. So glad that he was finally caught. He is a registered sex offender who likes teen girls and loves his substances. The recidivism rate is enormously high with him, so I hope that he does not get out of jail this time.

He has never maintained sobriety nor does he have the desire to do so, no matter how much he has hurt his parents, children or friends. They have all lost so much as have the people he provided drugs to and those young women he has molested and beaten.

I hope justice finally prevails.

First of all what a wonderful job done by all the agencies listed in story. They got there man. But once case goes to a judge and he is appointed a public defender that is when all the work done by the agencies all the hours put in to investigate and all the manpower just to arrest him pretty much was just a waste of time and taxpayers money. Judge and lawyer will go back and forth set court dates as by law is required but with all the evidents you would think it would be a no brainer he is guilty.@spaghetti1 pretty much what you said will be his defense poor guy hooked on drugs lands him in rehab and maybe a little jail time. Kind of make you wonder why all these agencies waste all that manpower and time as the judges just let them plead out of what should have been a close and shut case.Would love to hear from law enforcement on this one.

Who is the lady you mentioned?

I find it interesting that they are working backwards it seems... Wouldnt it be more of a victory to catch the supplier vs the dealer..?

Re: the bail posted- it was done so by a private citizen, with their own funds, withdrawn from their personal bank account- it appears the officers didn't disclose that Mr Dawson is on a federal hold w/o bail until after collecting the bail money for the state charges... Which to me seems less than upstanding and self serving.

I think there is far to much faith in the officers integrity that serve Alaska's southeast areas... My bet is if Mr Dawson walks (which he won't, anyone that has done their homework will know why) it will not be due to judicial leniancy.

I imagine this particular case will bring hours of amusement in the form of readers comments.

and I am sure you don't know me.

Again, whomever you think I am, you are sorely mistaken.
I am my own children's baby mama - birthed from my own body- with nothing to do with Darrell. Again, stop being so paranoid.

However, I do know who you speak of, and whom he was "sharing". That is one more family sadly impacted by that "amazing" couple. Out of respect for the family affected I would never take it public, as you did.

Again, I am not him, but a woman who has witnessed Darrell's path of destruction. Remember he IS a convicted drug dealer, user & sex offender. But go right ahead & keep defending him. Glad he has you as a friend.

Just make sure not to keep saying I am who I am not.

I am sure that you all can look up things yourself, so I will not post any more links to assist you........

however, if you go to Department of Public Safety and look at the sex offender list, search for this man or your address etc..... and you can see photos of registered offenders......

Enjoy!

This is crazy..I just have to agree with Speghetti1 on their opinion of D....AKA Darrell. I too have seen the destruction of Meth. I have seen year after year new groups of teens enter their 20's crusing around town spun out..and for so many years who has been the "Godfather" of meth in this town?..Darrell Dawsen and a few other over 40 year olds..kicking it with young men and barely 18 girls. There seems to be a cycle of these groups..the newbies start using once in awhile..then they become addicted and start to rob and steal and hustle for the older long time METH COOKS and meth dealers..hanging out at secret little shops..being either a girlfriend or a little huslter for the godfathers..(and sometimes old girls) It will continue to happen..its sadly everywhere, meth is the devil, stealing souls and leaving destruction no matter what. I too have witnessed D through out the years, keep it up, get caught for something ugly, do a little time..then get right back to it. He in my opinion deserves to be locked up and shipped up to spring creek for the rest of his life. If only Alaska had the 3 strikes your out..I think he is a perfect example of a person that law had in mind. Why I always wondered did he slide by so easy? Remember the young addicted lady that sold a couple viocodin..got caught, completed treatment and acknowledged she was wrong..she had the book thrown at her. I do know that Darrell's girlfriend (or ex now) got busted last August..it wasnt her first rodeo either. She has been building her criminal records rather fast. Well I thought for sure I wouldnt see her around for a few years at least. After all she did time in Highland on her last charge..well not long ago I saw her..guess what cruising in a nice new ride with D..lol. How can you step away so fast and be right back at it. So I guess it will be interesting what becomes of Darrell. I havent a clue..sounds like he has people invested in him enough to throw down big cash to attempt to bail him..or it was Darells personal stash of earnings from doing what he has been doing for so long. Lame lame that the police didnt get to arrest the homeowners that have been strangly thriving these past few years in spite of the economy. I think it is absolutely shameful and wish so much their names were printed. I figured it out but of course wont say. I wonder how surprized Darrel was they imediately rolled over and helped with the bust. It is so sad to me, they have children and im not sure but grandchildren. To be so dumb and allow meth to be sent to their home. Come on JPD, charge them with something so they can be named. It might do them a favor so they can hit a rock bottom and start their lives over. Oh and shame shame on you who is defending Dawsen..and what did you say about police should be going after the suppliers instead of dealers...that sounded so ignorant to me..because a dealer is a supplier to people...and that dont matter in this case because anyone who is unfortunate enough to have their lives destroyed by meth in Southeast..knows what Darrell does, did, is able to produce, one way or another is METH!

What happened to the person to whom the package was addressed and opened it up? Are they not the distributor that then said it was for someone else??????? Shouldn't they be put in jail for something???? The package was not addressed to this man, it was addressed and opened by the addressee.....

So now instead of McDonald's..... we can now get our meth from one end of Front Street to the other..... awesome.

About time this guy got my girl with the meth!! Hope you don't drop the soup! lol

One went down.... how about the people that received the package, to whom it was addressed..... and opened the package. The article said that more than 1 sugar jar was in the package...... who was to get the other jars????? How about the people that received the package and opened it.... "They" said that it was for someone else.... Isn't there a rule about opening other people's mail? Isn't that illegal???? I personally don't believe that it was meant for anyone else...... but then again, I'm sure someone will have more information for me...... I am tired of drug addicts working for the cops in this town... we all know who gets away with bad things.... while our children get addicted to this S%$#%#^%$^%$.
