I am a deputy working in warrants for the Dodge County Sheriff's Office in Minnesota. We have an outstanding Felony Arrest Warrant for a DALE HARRY BATT (date of birth 12.19.1962) who is an avid scuba diver.

According to reports, Batt physically assaulted his wife with injuries so severe in the late 90s that she was hospitalized a number of times. Often the assaults were done in front of his 5-8 year old daughter and he often threatened to kill both of them. His assaults included electrocution, strangulation, and broken bones from the abuse. His wife has permanent injuries because of the abuse. Batt was tried and convicted of Felony 3rd Degree Assault causing Substantial Bodily Harm to his victim. While the Sheriff's Office argued he should have been sentenced to prison, he was given a 5 year stayed prison sentence as long as he complied with probation and treatment. That was the last time he was seen here.

Batt is an avid scuba diver. We know he has dived in MN, WI, and MI. He talked about diving among the wrecks in Michigan, and he was seen at the Ghost Ship dive recently in WI. He also dove in Cozumel at least once a year.

We believe he may be using an alias name and date of birth and is still scuba diving. Please take a look at our website and his information. Remember, he may be using a different name so please take a look at his pictures to see if you remember him. Batt has been known to possess guns in the past and has a violent temper.

We would appreciate any information you may be able to provide. Information that would be helpful would include what name and contact information he's using, any phone numbers, and who (if anyone) he was there with diving. Any and all information would be helpful!

Thank you for your assistance.

I figured since there was some chatter in this thread, that it might be a good idea to bring this to the front again.

Been a few days, so here's a bump to the front of the line.
 
Apparently Scott is no n00b to technology.... Good on him for bringing every possible avenue to bear... I figured Facebook is good at finding people, so I typed good 'ole' Dale's name in, and bingo....

Followed of course by a link to the arrest warrant and our thread here....

It appears that Dodge County has its own "Dodge County Warrants" page . . .

Its nice to see folks using technology in a positive way to catch wife beaters . . .
 
Just noticed this thread was getting low on the page here's a bump to catch a wife beating coward.
Hey Dale come to Hope Valley RI I loved to meet you.
