He also sent a video of the gun to show that the gun worked. CRT Detectives worked with Lower Columbia SWAT to stage a meeting with Dixon using a truck and trailer. Detectives were able to arrest and book Dixon on charges of unlawful firearms, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, dangerous weapons, assault weapons, and driving with a suspended license.
