I met with [VICTIM #1] in the lobby of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. I spoke with Mrs. [VICTIM #1] in interview room 2. The following is a summary of our conversation and not verbatim.
Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated yesterday between 1600 and 1630 hours she and her husband, Harvey “Allen” Dunn got into an argument. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated the argument started because she found out Harvey had opened a separate bank account and moved a large amount of their shared funds into his personal account.
Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated after confronting Harvey about the new bank account he got mad and walked outside to hook his camper to his truck and leave. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated as Harvey was walking toward the camper, she witnessed him fall. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] then approached Harvey as he was getting into the camper and offered to get their grandson to help him hook it up. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated this is when Harvey became belligerent, yelling and cussing at her.
Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated Harvey then grabbed a long iron rod, possibly a crow bar, and threw it at her, causing her to jump back. Harvey then exited the camper, picked up the iron rod, and chased her in the yard while verbally threatening to hit her with it.
Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated this is when her grandson, [REDACTED], tackled Harvey to keep him from hurting her. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] and another grandson, [REDACTED], pulled the iron rod away from Harvey. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated deputies responded after this incident and at the time she was content with Harvey leaving the property, however he returned after the deputies left.
Harvey was released from jail on 11/20/25 after a Simple Assault FVA charge against [VICTIM #1] in which he received a family violence bond condition ordering him to stay away from the residence and get a mental health evaluation. [VICTIM #1] stated after his arrest she filed for a TPO but eventually dropped it due to wanting to give him a chance to work things out, as well as him having a history of stroke and needing help. [VICTIM #1] also allowed Harvey to come back to the residence in disregard for his bond conditions.
[VICTIM #1] stated there were four other adults and one juvenile at the residence when the incident with the iron rod occurred.
