Man with History of Driving Violations Faces New Charges
In Bryan, a man identified as Jerrald Dixon has been arrested for driving with an invalid license. The arrest occurred when an officer pulled over Dixon after discovering that his insurance status was unconfirmed. Legal troubles are not new for the 40-year-old, as this marks his seventh conviction for driving with an invalid license.
Dixon’s license reportedly had two active suspensions at the time of the arrest. The past convictions were recorded on June 6, 2024, August 23, 2022, May 2, 2017, February 14, 2013, October 9, 2012, May 23, 2011, and July 8, 2010.
Long History of Legal Issues
This isn’t Dixon’s first encounter with law enforcement. The man has been booked at the Brazos County jail no less than thirty times since December 2002. Despite the long criminal record, Dixon was released the following day after posting a $2,000 bond.
Other Recent Arrests in Bryan
This incident follows two other similar recent arrests in Bryan, revealing a concerning pattern of driving violations in the area. A 24-year-old former College Station police officer named De’Kedrick Anderson admitted to two misdemeanor thefts from July last year and was subsequently placed on probation. Allegedly, Anderson stole money from a person he had arrested.
Meanwhile, a 55-year-old woman named Alisa Starks was arrested for driving with an invalid license. This being her fourth conviction of the same crime, she is also awaiting seven trials for the same offence. Furthermore, she is facing another four trials for drug-related charges.
Concerns Over Driving Violations
The repeated driving violations from residents of Bryan are causing unease among the community, which is now calling for stricter penalties for those who flout driving and traffic laws. With Dixon’s arrest proving that offenders can continue to commit the same crimes repeatedly, the local community is calling on law enforcement agencies to step up their efforts in ensuring road safety for all. Additionally, residents demand a review of the current system of penalties, calling for more stringent consequences for repeat offenders.
