A North Carolina man, who recently garnered over $100,000 through a GoFundMe campaign after being stabbed on a light rail train, is now embroiled in a legal battle of his own. He faces charges related to an alleged assault on his pregnant girlfriend, which reportedly resulted in a “facial fracture.” The man is also accused of making threats against the woman and her children.

Kenyon Dobie, 24, appeared in court on Thursday concerning the alleged assault on the mother of his unborn child and their 1-year-old son. Following his release on bond, the court imposed a no-contact order and mandated electronic monitoring, as per court documents.

Dobie’s GoFundMe campaign had raised over $114,000 by Thursday evening. The fundraiser was initiated after Dobie was stabbed in the chest on a Charlotte light rail on December 5. The alleged attacker, Oscar Solarzano, faces a federal charge for committing violence on a mass transportation system. Authorities have revealed that Solarzano is in the country illegally.

In his GoFundMe appeal, Dobie expressed gratitude for surviving the stabbing, though he noted, “my body has taken plenty damage.” He further shared, “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.”

Court filings from Mecklenburg County indicate that Dobie was taken into custody on Wednesday night. He faces several charges, including felony assault causing serious bodily injury, assault on a pregnant woman, assault on a female, domestic violence, and three counts of making threats in connection with the alleged incident involving his girlfriend.

The accusations detail two separate occurrences of assault, one on February 18 and another on October 19, according to court records.

“[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.
