Atlanta Man Accused Of Trying To Smuggle Drugs, Phones and Chicken Wings Into Jail

Georgia authorities say a man attempted to smuggle drugs, phones, chicken wings, and more into a local jail.

Michael Anthony Dixon has been charged with crossing a guard line with weapons, intoxicants, drugs without consent, criminal trespass, possession of marijuana, and possession of cocaine with distribution intent.

He was caught trying to enter thru a DeKalb County Jail window and had a box cutter when found, Fox station WAGA reported. He was stopped outside of the facility on Feb. 3 after crossing the guard line area.

Deputies searched and found a bag that contained cocaine, packs of cigarettes, lighters, marijuana, ear pods, hex keys, glue gel, sweets, jewelry, charging cords, and cooked chicken wings.

“Our ‘Eyes in the Sky’ operation continues to be effective this year, as we foil attempts by inmates and their co-conspirators on the outside to get illegal and potentially dangerous items inside the jail,” Chief Deputy Randy Akies said, according to WAGA. “The safety of the intended recipients and others in our custody and on our staff is threatened by this practice, and Sheriff Maddox has made it clear that it will not be tolerated. Offenders will be prosecuted within the full extent of the law.”
