=== Ronald Miscavige Sr., 2012 ===
David Miscavige's father, Ronald Miscavige Sr., was a longtime Scientologist who left the Church of Scientology in 2012. In July 2013, Wisconsin police responded to a suspicious person call and found Dwayne S. Powell outside Ronald's home. Powell was in possession of firearms and an illegal homemade silencer. Powell claimed to have received $10,000 a week, for over a year, to conduct full-time surveillance on the elder Miscavige for Scientology. Powell and his son would stalk Ronald and follow him wherever he went. Powell told police that on one occasion, he witnessed what he believed to be Ron Sr. undergoing cardiac arrest. According to Powell, after immediately reporting the perceived emergency to his superiors, he received a call for further instructions from a man who identified himself as David Miscavige. According to the police report, Powell was instructed "to let him die and not intervene in any way."
