There were 12 assaults reported at the popular retail center in 2022.

According to Maryland court records, Dyson is currently being held without bond. A preliminary hearing in the case has been scheduled for August 23, 2024 in District Court in Rockville.
Records also indicate that Circuit Court Judge Eric Johnson reopened an existing 2021 drug conviction case, after ruling that the alleged assaults were a violation of Dyson's probation in that matter.
