The voyeurism charges are not the only legal matters confronting the Butler mayor.
In 2025, Dingus was indicted by a Richland County grand jury on four additional counts, including:
Aggravated assault (fourth-degree felony)
Vehicular assault (fourth-degree felony)
Falsification (first-degree misdemeanor)
Dereliction of duty (second-degree misdemeanor)
Those charges stem from a July 11, 2025 incident, in which Dingus is accused of striking a man twice with his vehicle. Authorities said the man was wanted by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for a parole violation and was reportedly fleeing police during a traffic stop when the incident occurred.
Dingus was arrested on a warrant on Aug. 17, 2025, pleaded not guilty to all charges the following day, and was released from the Richland County Jail on a $25,000 bond. That case remains pending in Richland County Common Pleas Court.
