According to information presented in court, law enforcement executed a search warrant on March 25, 2026, at a garage structure behind Dixon’s residence. During the operation, Dixon consented to a search of her bedroom. Officers found 37.1 grams of a substance containing fentanyl and 2.7 grams of crack in her bedroom.
