The son of a television personality celebrated Christmas with his family last week, more than three months after he was hospitalized in an alleged drive-by shooting that occurred in Lake Havasu City.
For 23-year-old Garrett Dotson - the son of A&E Network’s “Storage Wars” star Dan Dotson - physical recovery has been a long and painful process. According to police, Dotson was shot during a confrontation with Havasu resident Garrett Wilder, 19, in mid-September. Wilder allegedly fired one round from a .380 caliber pistol before driving away from the scene.
“I have a scar from my sternum to my belt buckle that’s a daily reminder that I’m lucky to be alive,” Dotson said. “The bullet is still currently stuck in my L3 vertebrae. This forced me to wear a back brace for eight weeks. The healing process was unbearable and a constant struggle.”
