Jackson Police have arrested Patrick Dixson, 24, of 29 Fox St., Jackson, TN and charged him with Burglary and Arson. Dixson was arraigned this morning in Jackson City Court and is currently being held in the Madison County Criminal Justice Complex in lieu of bond.
On 2-21-2012 Officers received an alarm call at the Parkview Learning Center at 905 E. Chester St. Officers arrived and found a broken window and apprehended a suspect as he attempted to flee. The suspect was identified as Patrick Dixson. Officers were able to determine that a window had been broken to make entry and items had been moved around in preparation to be stolen. They also were able to determine a fire had been set inside the school. The fire only caused a very small amount of damage.
Patrick Dixson is currently on probation for 5 years after pleading guilty to breaking into the same school in 2010. Dickson’s probation officer will be notified and it is expected he will also be charged with probation violation.
While the investigation is ongoing, we encourage anyone with information to contact the Property Crimes Unit at the Jackson Police Department at 425-8400 or Crime Stoppers at 424-TIPS (8477)
