An Alexandria man was arrested on February 26 following a joint investigation by the Alexandria Police Department (APD) and Rapides Area Drug Enforcement Agents (RADE).
Courtney Holt Dixon, 44, of Alexandria, was taken into custody on multiple drug and firearm charges after APD responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence in the 3000 block of Dawkins Street. While investigating, officers discovered several jars containing suspected marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms. They then contacted RADE agents to continue the investigation.
Upon RADE agents’ arrival, Dixon confessed to having marijuana, mushrooms, and several firearms inside the home. With his consent, authorities searched the residence, uncovering:
Approximately 2.5 pounds of marijuana
A jar of psychedelic mushrooms
Eight firearms
28 bags of THC edibles
One of the firearms was found to have an illegal barrel, prompting further investigation by an RPSO deputy assigned to their Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms task force.
Dixon was arrested and charged with the following:
Possession of CDS 1 with intent to distribute
Possession of hallucinogenic plants with intent to distribute
Illegal carrying of firearms with drugs
Possession of drug paraphernalia
He was booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center and later released on a $13,000 bond. The investigation remains ongoing.
