Saints CB Brian Dixon is accusing police officers of racial bias following his Sunday arrest.
Dixon was booked in Miami Beach for resisting arrest without violence. Police say he was pulled over while riding a scooter for splitting lanes, swerving and traveling down the center of the roadway. Per the police report, Dixon said, “You’re seriously going to give me a ticket for that? I’m making a U-turn.” The officer said that due to Dixon’s “imposing size, stature, and weight, as well as the defendant’s agitated state,” Dixon was ordered to sit on the curb. When the officer approached, Dixon said, “Let me go. You’re just doing this because I’m a black man with dreads and I look like a criminal. I’m not a criminal.”
