234. Officer down. Officer down. I'm
hit. I'm hit. Ah. On May 28th, 2025, two
police officers with the Mifflin
Township Police Department were shot and
almost killed by a man that should have
already been in prison. He was free due
to the negligence of Franklin County
Judge Kimberly J. Brown.
Just before 7 p.m., the officers
conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle
that was occupied by two men, an
unidentified driver and a passenger,
Devonte Dixon. At the time of the stop,
Mr. Dixon was on probation with 16 years
of prison on the shelf. He was also
concealing a firearm, which is a
violation of his
probation. As the officers approached
the vehicle, Mr. Dixon exited the
vehicle and fled on foot with the
officers in hot pursuit. While fleeing,
Mr. Dixon fell to the ground. And when
his apprehension was eminent, he
retrieved a firearm from his waistband
and opened fire on the pursuing
officers, striking them both. The
officer closest to Mr. Dixon at the time
was struck multiple times, including one
round in the face and another in his
torso. The officer would be dead today
if not for the life-saving efforts of
paramedics and the staff at Grant
Hospital. The second officer was struck
in the arm and is in good
condition. Roughly one minute of body
camera and security camera footage of
the incident has been released to the
public.
Now
you got
one. You got him.
23. Officer down. Officer down. I'm hit.
I'm
hit. You got
him. The suspect in this case, Mr.
Devonte Dixon should have already been
in prison. In June of 2023, Devonte
Dixon was arrested and charged with
aggravated burglary with a gunspec,
kidnapping with a gunpec, domestic
violence, possession of a dangerous
ordinance, which means he had a Glock
with a switch, making it a fully
automatic weapon, aggravated menacing,
and two counts of weapons under
disability. in Ohio. That means he was a
felon with a
firearm. On April the 5th, 2024, he was
allowed to take a sweetheart deal by
Franklin County Judge Kimberly J. Brown,
who sentenced him to 36 months of
community control, also known as
supervised release.
Devonte Dixon was convicted of seven
crimes, two of which were firstdegree
felonies, and he was released out to the
public where he later attempted to
murder two police
officers. How do you get 36 months of
probation for committing an aggravated
burglary while using a fully automatic
weapon? At the time of the shooting,
Devonte knew that if he were caught,
he'd be going to prison for 16 years.
So, he decided to shoot his way
out. This man's attempt to murder two
police officers, is the direct result of
the negligence of judges like Kimberly
J. Brown, who should have sent him to
prison with the opportunity for parole,
not the other way around.
Stop asking police officers to risk
their lives daily to apprehend these
monsters when you're just going to let
them right back
out. 23. Officer down. Officer down. I'm
hit. I'm hit. Ah.
