FOX 5 has learned that, during a previous incident, Dixon had pulled a gun on a homeless woman who’d entered the condominium.

Takoma Park police indicated that they investigated the previous incident, and Dixon declined to mention that he'd pulled out a gun, saying only that he'd used pepper spray after the woman swung an object at him.

Dixon was not charged with a crime at the time, but now that the video has surfaced, he will face a charge in connection with the incident.
