| Red Rose Database
Dunston Domestic Abuser
Dean Coleman, a 31-year-old resident of Holly Avenue in Dunston, has been at the center of a series of violent and threatening actions directed towards women and others in his community. The court proceedings revealed that Coleman’s history of violence is extensive and troubling, dating back to December 2018 when he was previously classified as a dangerous offender after attacking a woman with a hammer and causing damage to her property.
Despite serving time for that serious incident, Coleman’s aggressive behavior did not cease. More recently, he was convicted on multiple charges including assault, harassment, and intentional strangulation. These charges stemmed from an incident where Coleman contacted a woman he knew through messaging, asking her to meet up. When she refused his invitation, his reaction was swift and hostile. He bombarded her with threatening messages, escalating the situation further.
In a disturbing turn of events, Coleman then attempted to forcibly enter what he believed to be her residence. However, he mistakenly broke into her neighbor’s home instead. Inside, he assaulted the man present and seized his phone, further demonstrating his violent tendencies and disregard for boundaries.
The presiding judge, Penny Moreland, did not hold back in her assessment of Coleman’s character. She described him as a dangerous individual with a long and troubling record of harming women, particularly those with whom he had an intimate relationship. Her comments underscored the seriousness of his actions and the threat he poses to the community.
As a result of his convictions, Coleman was sentenced to a prison term of five years and seven months. The court also imposed extended license conditions upon his release, aimed at monitoring and restricting his contact with the victims. Additionally, restraining orders were issued to prevent him from contacting the woman and her neighbor indefinitely, in an effort to protect them from further harm.
