An affidavit noted Dixon has been arrested before on multiple violent offenses, including robbery, terroristic threat, assault and evading arrest. Dixon is also a 'documented gang member,' according to RRPD.

According to the release, Bernhardt's searches included Rocky River students and their family members, other law enforcement officers and colleagues, school teachers and administrators, and his own family members and ex-spouses.
