Miami, Florida<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A prior convicted felon from Miami with alleged ties to the national \u201cBloods\u201d gang and the local \u201c77 Street\u201d gang has been indicted by a South Florida grand jury on federal firearms charges, including illegal possession of machine guns, officials stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"black<\/a>According to the Indictment, an earlier-filed criminal complaint, and statements made in court, law enforcement officers approached 22-year-old Ty\u2019ree Dixon on May 17, 2021, as part of an investigation into gang-related violent crime and fraud. <\/span><\/p>\n

When police confronted him, they discovered that Dixon was armed with a Glock 20 and a 10mm semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine, it is alleged. <\/span><\/p>\n

They also located a large amount of ammunition and several firearms inside Dixon\u2019s residence while executing a search warrant that same day, including three Glock semi-automatic pistols, a Century Arms International AK style pistol, and two pistols that had been converted into machine guns using \u201cswitch\u201d devices, according to the allegations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When installed on a handgun, a \u201cswitch\u201d (technically called an auto-sear) allows the handgun to expel more than one bullet by a single pull of the trigger, turning the weapon into a fully automatic machine gun, according to statements made in court.<\/span><\/p>\n

Law enforcement officers arrested Dixon on May 17, and South Florida federal prosecutors charged him by criminal complaint with being a felon in possession of a firearm.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"brown<\/a>On May 21, following a hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge John J. O\u2019Sullivan ordered that Dixon be held in a federal detention center without bond pending his trial (pre-trial detention). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 1, a South Florida grand jury returned an indictment charging Dixon with two counts of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, and two counts of illegally possessing a machine gun. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon faces up to 40 years in federal prison if convicted. <\/span>\u00a0A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
