Convicted Cantonment Felon Facing Drug, Weapon Charges
December 13, 2021
A convicted felon from Cantonment is facing drug and weapon charges after it was reported that she walking down an Escambia County street waving a gun in the air.
Laurie Ann Dixon, 32, was charged with carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a controlled substance (heroin).
A caller reported to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that a female was walking down Briese Lane waving a firearm in the air and acting aggressive toward a man. Deputies arrived to find Dixon standing at a bus stop.
A 9 mm handgun was located in her jacket pocket, and a bag with a substance that tested positive for heroin was located in her backpack, according to and arrest report.
The report states Dixon said she thought the handgun was a BB gun.
Records indicate Dixon has previous felony convictions for fraud and possession of a controlled substance. She remained in the Escambia County Jail Monday with bond set at $17,500.

REGARDING:
“I’m Not buying the BB gun excuse.”
SO distrusting!!
Gotta admit it was an amusing alibi. Not only pretty but a good sense of humor. I hope she enjoys her stay in our familiar jail.
David for better bars
A felon can’t have a bb gun
32years old and 19 mugshots.
she needs to spend some serious time for this crime.
I’m Not buying the BB gun excuse.
As a felon she knows she’s gonna do something for having a firearm.
Need to send her away for about 10 years. Maybe she will learn
“thought the handgun was a BB gun”
This statement makes be ponder if the firearm is stolen. Hopefully the man comes forward and additional charges related are pending if she made threats or brandished it at the man without ample reason.
With how serious the ramifications are between it being a “BB gun” vs. a Firearm – please, tin god’s, add firearm and hunters safety right along side ‘drivers education’ and make them both part of our public high school graduation requirements.
I keep seeing these convicted felons being picked up with a gun in their possession.
Maybe instead of all the background checks and waiting periods and registering of guns we should have a law that convicted felons cannot own or possess a gun. Oh, wait we do!! I guess the only people following the rules are the law-abiding citizens. So, why all the rules? Before you go all crazy on me, I know why.
Beauty is skin deep but ugly goes to the bone.
She doesn’t look like a loser. Hopefully, she’ll get help to clean up her act. Pray, girl, pray.
Who ever made that call, thank you. More citizens need to get involved in keeping our communities safe.
“Thought it was a BB gun”
I guess that’s better than the jacket wasn’t hers.
The excuses they come up with are entertaining.
Clean it up. You are better than that and you are beautiful. Let God have it. Let God lead you in the right direction. You have got to want the change to make progress. You look strong and beautiful and I believe you can do better child. Not one person is perfect and we all make mistakes. Correct yours for yourself. Make the people that love you proud!
