Reality show star Erica Dixon was arrested for disorderly conduct [it was reported on Thursday, March 23], after she fled the scene of a traffic stop, according to Atlanta police.
Video produced of the encounter between Dixon and officers, both before and after she is seen being chased down and stopped for a second time, was obtained by TMZ. The first half of the recording shows Dixon standing at the bumper of the cop cruiser on the scene as she complains to one officer about the other having refused to call his captain at her request. "So now I'm feeling harassed by asking him to call his captain. He said no, he's not calling no damn body. So, am I going to be standing here all night? Like, what are you going to do then?" she is heard saying, as the accused officer lingers outside of the driver's side door.
Suddenly the video cuts to the cruiser screeching around the gas station she apparently attempted to skid off from, having assumed that she was ticketed and free to go. Up to seven officers are then seen surrounding her vehicle, with a sheriff leaning down to her window and demanding that she exit, before some of the other officers on the scene begin to move in to give their assistance. At one point the sheriff grabs and appears to yank her from the seat. "I'm coming out. He ain't gotta pull me, I'm a female!" she tells the officers, before attempting to shame them for their handling of the situation. "It takes one, two-three-four, really? Five men to pull a female out a car? That is ridiculous," she said.
Dixon then asks the officers to explain to her what she is being arrested for, and informs them that her rights were not read to her. Within moments Dixon was in cuffs and driven off to a local jail, where she was cited for speeding and released. Initial reports told of the cops being prompted to give chase after Dixon left the scene of the stop before her citation was even processed. TMZ later added detail to the account, reporting that prior to her driving off, police records tell of Dixon having refused to call a friend to pick her up after she was informed that she would not be allowed to drive, for refusing a sobriety test they required her to take, once having learned she had taken 3 shots of Grand Marnier.
