Dixon, 45, has been charged with with crossing a guard line with weapons, intoxicants, drugs without consent, criminal trespass, possession of marijuana and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
He was carrying a box cutter when stopped on Feb. 3, having gone past the guard line area; deputies then found a bag hidden in nearby brush that was full of drugs, cigarets, ear pods, candy, jewelry, cell phones and phone charging cords and cooked chicken wings.
Dixon allegedly was using a broken window at the jail to deliver such items to inmates.

He has now been booked into the DeKalb County jail himself.
After the arrest, Chief Deputy Randy Akies said, “Our ‘Eyes in the Sky’ operation continues to be effective this year, as we foil attempts by inmates and their co-conspirators on the outside to get illegal and potentially dangerous items inside the jail.”
