Dylan Ray Lawson

WINONA LAKE — A Wabash man was recently arrested for illegally possessing a firearm.

Dylan Ray Lawson, 27, 839 W. 250S Lot 1, Wabash, is charged with unlawful carrying of a handgun, a level 5 felony.

On May 6, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a fight in Winona Lake. A woman said children were in her driveway attempting to catch a dog.

According to court documents, when the woman asked the children to move, Lawson came out of a residence and began arguing with her. She believed Lawson had a weapon as he kept reaching for something in his pants.

Lawson told deputies he had a verbal argument with the woman and destroyed a window in his home out of anger. While leaving the residence, deputies found a handgun, which Lawson said he had on his person during the argument. He also told deputies he was a convicted felon.

Lawson has a prior conviction for obstruction of justice in Kosciusko County in January 2018.

Lawson was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on June 20, with a $10,250 surety and cash bond.
