INTERSTATE 390: Livingston County Sheriff Thomas J.
Dougherty reports the arrest of a Canisteo NY woman for drug related charges
after a traffic stop on Interstate 390. On July 22, 2017, Deputy Matthew
Thomas, who was assigned to the Sheriff’s STOP DWI Unit, stopped a vehicle for
vehicle and traffic violations. During the course of the traffic stop, the
Deputy Sheriff checked the New York State DMV database and learned that the
operator’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle in New York State had been
suspended and also located 3 hypodermic needles.
The operator of the vehicle, 42 year old Angela Dixon, was
arrested for Aggravated Unlicensed Operation in the Third Degree, as well as
Criminal Possession of a Hypodermic Instrument.
Dixon was turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the
Livingston County Jail for processing and pre-arraignment detention. Once
inside the facility, Dixon was found to be in possession of 5 bags of heroin
that were concealed on her person to avoid detection.
Dixon was then additionally charged with the felony of
Promoting Prison Contraband in the first degree.
Dixon was later arraigned in the Village of Geneseo Court
before Justice Bushnell. The Judge did
remand Dixon to the custody of the Sheriff on $5,000 cash/$10,000 bond for the
Prison Contraband charge and $250/$500 on the Hypodermic charge.
