On April 28, 2022, the Anderson Police Department responded to a report of a robbery in the 2900 block of South Scatterfield Road.  There, an adult male reported he had spent the evening at Hoosier Park Casino and had won $1,000.  He cashed out, returned to his vehicle, and was heading home on Scattefield when he stopped at a red light in front of Ford Auto World.  He reported a few seconds later a vehicle also traveling northbound on Scatterfield collided into his vehicle from the rear.  He advised that when he exited his vehicle to see if there was any damage, the driver of the other vehicle, a male later identified as Dashon Scott, exited his vehicle wearing a dark colored hoodie with firearm and yelled "give me the money!" and "I know you got money, give me all your money or I'm gonna shoot your ass."  As the Defendant tried to reach into his pockets, the man fell causing swelling and bruising to his wrists, elbows, and back.   The Defendant stole the man's wallet and drove south on Scatterfield Road.  Security footage from Hoosier Park Casino showed the Defendant following the man from the casino to the parking lot and north onto Charles St. toward Scatterfield.  The Defendant was later identified by his ID card used as he entered the casino.
