Dustin Fanning arraignment on multiple felonies scheduled for Wednesday morning

An 8:30 a.m. Wednesday arraignment is scheduled in Jasper County Circuit Court for Dustin Fanning, 46, Joplin, who is charged with domestic assault, unlawful use of a weapon (two counts), burglary, assault and property damage.

Fanning is being held in the Jasper County Detention Center on a $500,000 cash-only bond.

Fanning, allegedly chased his girlfriend with a hatchet, beat a man who tried to help her, smashed windows in a house and threatened to harm everyone in the house, according to the probable cause statement.








Jasper County deputies had to tase Fanning to take him into custody.

Fanning spent 14 years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder for beating his father to death. After he was paroled in 2022, he violated the terms of the parole and was returned to prison in 2023 but was released the following year.
