Burglar Gets 10 Years In Prison
December 19, 2013
An Escambia County burglar will spend the next 10 years in prison.
Overton Dixon was sentenced as a habitual felony offender by Judge Scott Duncan for multiple burglaries. On November 15, 2013, Dixon was set for trial for burglarizing Lincoln Park Elementary when he entered a plea of no contest straight up.
On October 11, 2012, Lincoln Park Elementary was broken into and a microwave was taken. Blood was located on the floor at the point of entry. DNA from the blood matched that of Dixon, according to prosecutors.
Dixon was also sentenced for two other burglaries occurring on November 25 and 27, 2012 and was sentenced to 10 years state prison concurrent.
