Dingus was shown in photos attending the arraignment wearing jeans and a plaid shirt, standing next to his attorney, James Mayer III. He pleaded not guilty. Dingus, who is currently out on bond for an incident last summer after he “struck a suspect fleeing police” with his car, arrived to court fairly experienced with the process.

It wasn’t Dingus’ first time being arraigned. In August 2025, Dingus was in front of the judge to face numerous charges for allegedly “running over a man wanted for violating parole.”

Dingus was indicted on four counts in that case, including aggravated assault, vehicular assault, falsification, and dereliction of duty. The first two charges are fourth-degree felonies.
