Man accused of embezzling $500,000 from Charlotte trucking company started by former Panthers linebacker

Yahoo18-03-2025
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – Shaquille Dixon, a former business partner of ex-Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson, is facing federal charges for allegedly embezzling at least $500,000 from his Charlotte-area trucking company, according to unsealed court documents.
Dixon, who helped manage Good Run Logistics, a nationwide long-haul trucking business based in Charlotte, is accused of diverting funds between February 2023 and June 2024.
Federal prosecutors said Dixon used his position to transfer large sums into his own accounts, disguising the transactions as 'owner draws' or 'transfers to review' in an effort to cover his tracks. Despite not being an owner of the company, Dixon reportedly misled both his employer and financial authorities to avoid detection.
The indictment also claims Dixon persuaded the company's actual owner to inject additional capital into the business, citing operational needs. However, much of this new funding allegedly ended up in Dixon's personal accounts.
Founded in January 2023, Good Run Logistics reportedly hired Dixon based on his trucking experience. With access to the company's bank accounts and financial records, he was allegedly able to carry out the scheme that drained the business's resources.
Dixon now faces serious wire fraud charges, with the possibility of severe penalties if convicted.
Dixon was booked into the Gaston County Detention Center as a federal prisoner by the US Marshal Service. He posted bond on March 10, 2025, according to jail records.
This federal investigation remains ongoing. Good Run Logistics' website is no longer live.

Texas ICE shooting suspects tied to secretive far-left anarchist group formed during violent 2020 BLM protests

An armed mob arrested for shooting up a Texas immigration detention center last month are reportedly members of a secretive network of far-left 'anti-fascists' trained in self-defense and firearms. An ex-US Marine Corps reservist and 10 others were nabbed after the group, who were clad in black military-style clothing, opened fire outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado back on July 4 — leaving one cop shot in the neck. In the wake of the attack, it has since emerged that several of the suspects have apparent ties to left-wing extremist group operating out of Dallas, the Washington Post reported. 5 Benjamin Song was captured in Dallas, Texas. 5 Evidence from the Texas ICE ambush released by authorities.

Song would allegedly host weekly sessions to train people for 'close quarters combat and large-scale gunfights.' 5 The Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. AP 'The people that were showing up to learn from him — a lot were very young, naïve leftists,' said Corey Lyon, a libertarian who attended some of the sessions but later cut ties with Song.

Ex-Nashville cop enters new plea after being arrested for groping OnlyFans star's breasts during mock traffic stop

The ex-Tennessee cop arrested for groping an OnlyFans model's breast during a mock traffic stop for a raunchy x-rated promotional video while on duty entered a new plea to escape jail time. Former Nashville police officer Sean Herman pleaded no contest to felony official misconduct in Nashville's criminal court on Thursday, following his arrest in 2024. As a result of his new plea, Herman, 35, was sentenced to a year of supervised probation.

'I'm under the impression that the local media turned it in to the department. I do believe that it was from my Twitter. The video was sitting at 2 million views at that point and had been retweeted 5,500 times, so it's safe to assume that was the culprit,' she said. As for Herman, she added that he was 'a very respectful guy, very polite, and wasn't an officer that would've fit a profile that many are lumping him into.' with Post wires.
