Stratford man arrested for second time this year on gun charges

STRATFORD-Criminal charges keep mounting for Zaire Dixon.

For the second time this year police arrested Dixon on a series of weapons charges. But unlike his January arrest, the 19-year old is being detained on $1 million bond.

Capt. Frank Eannotti said police executed two search warrants on Aug. 23 which resulted in the arrest of Dixon and a 15-year old juvenile. It also led to the seizure of a loaded stolen firearm and a quantity of marijuana packaged for street sales.

Dixon is charged in the latest arrest with two counts of risk of injury to a minor and single counts of criminal possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, illegal transfer of a firearm, possession of a large capacity magazine, improper storage of a firearm, possession with intent to sell marijuana and violation of conditions of release. He is expected to appear in the Golden Hill Street courthouse on Aug. 30.

It is expected that the case will be transferred to the Fairfield County courthouse on Main Street.

That’s where Dixon is expected to appear Sept. 10 on charges stemming from a Jan. 22 shooting on South Avenue near Lake Street.

Dixon was arrested by Stratford police on Feb. 15 in that case.

At that time he was released after being charged with criminal attempt at first-degree assault, weapon in a motor vehicle, carrying a pistol without a permit, and reckless endangerment.

Eannotti said the juvenile was charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to sell marijuana and turned over to juvenile court authorities.
