A North Carolina man, who recently garnered over $100,000 through a GoFundMe campaign after being stabbed aboard a light rail train, now finds himself facing legal troubles of his own. He stands accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, allegedly striking her in the face and causing a “facial fracture.” Additionally, he is accused of making threats to kill her and her children.

Kenyon Dobie, 24, made a court appearance on Thursday regarding the alleged incident involving the mother of his unborn child and their 1-year-old son. Following his release on bond, a no-contact order was issued, and he is now under electronic monitoring, as per court records.

Despite his legal woes, Dobie has raised more than $114,000 on GoFundMe by Thursday evening. This fundraising effort followed a stabbing incident on December 5th in Charlotte, where he was attacked on a light rail train. The alleged assailant, Oscar Solarzano, faces federal charges for committing violence on a mass transportation system. Solarzano, who is reportedly in the U.S. illegally, allegedly stabbed Dobie in the chest.

In his GoFundMe campaign description, Dobie wrote, “Luckily I survived but my body has taken plenty damage. I have a tube running from my chest to a machine pumping blood out of my lungs. Please pray and help me with a better recovery.”

According to court filings in Mecklenburg County, Dobie was arrested and booked on Wednesday night. He faces multiple charges, including felony assault causing serious bodily injury, assault on a pregnant woman, assault on a female, domestic violence, and three counts of communicating threats related to the alleged altercation with his girlfriend.

He is accused of attacking her on two separate occasions: once on Feb. 18 and another time on Oct. 19, according to court documents.

“[The girlfriend] stated that Dobie came over to get the [1-year-old] child from her,” an arrest affidavit says for the alleged February incident. “When Dobie received the child … [the girlfriend] stated that she could tell Dobie was intoxicated.”

As Dobie attempted to take his son, the girlfriend reached for the child to have him come back with her when Dobie “punched her in the face with a closed fist,” according to police, before getting in his car and leaving.

On Oct. 19, Dobie allegedly hit his girlfriend so hard that she was “bleeding heavily from her right eye and nose” and her left eye was “swollen shut” and “turning dark purple” when police arrived on the scene.

“[The girlfriend] advised she was too scared to speak to officers because ‘he’ [Dobie] stated he was going to kill her children,” an affidavit says for the alleged incident.

After being transported to a local hospital, the victim told cops that she and Dobie had gotten into an argument at her apartment and she tried separating herself from him by going into their 1-year-old’s room.

“[The girlfriend] stated that Dobie stormed into the room and began throwing furniture,” the affidavit says. “This caused her to be scared for her baby, so she grabbed him off of the bed and held him in her arms.”

The woman told police that Dobie allegedly “began walking towards her till she was backed into the corner of the room” before punching her in the face. She stated that this caused her head to hit the wall behind her “and for her to lose consciousness,” according to the affidavit.

“[The girlfriend] advised that when she awoke, she was on the ground bleeding from her face still holding her child with Dobie no longer in the apartment,” the affidavit says. “Dobie then came back to the front door and stated that if she spoke to police that he would kill her and her children.”

Dobie was being held Thursday on a $2 million bond.
