Kevin Gene Dixon, 44, High Ridge recently posted bond and was released from the Jefferson County Jail in Hillsboro after being arrested on drug charges, according to court documents.
Dixon has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of a weapon and misdemeanor charges of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to register a motor vehicle and displaying license plates of another vehicle, court records said.
He posted a $7,500 bond on April 26 and is scheduled to appear in court on May 21. He had been arrested on April 17, according to jail and court records.
According to a probable-cause statement filed by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy on Sept. 8, 2025, stopped a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado that Dixon was driving in the 100 block of Old Sugar Creek Road in Fenton because the pickup was displaying license plates that were registered to a different vehicle.
After being stopped, Dixon told the deputy he had a handgun, which the deputy removed from a holster on Dixon’s right hip. The deputy then allegedly found suspected illegal drugs in a cubby hole near the steering column and drug paraphernalia wrapped in a sock that was in the pickup’s center console, the report said.
Dixon allegedly told the deputy the suspected illegal substance and drug paraphernalia belonged to him, according to the report.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol on Jan. 6 reported the substance found in the pickup tested positive as methamphetamine. The Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Dixon on Jan. 27, court documents show.
