27-year-old Darvon Deyon Dixson of Dallas, sentenced to 3 years’ probation for two counts of Burglary of Vehicles with Two or More Convictions and for Credit/Debit Card Abuse, all state jail felonies. The sentences will run concurrently. Dixson will also have to pay a $1,000 fine and $460 in restitution, as well as crime stoppers fees of $50 for each case. In addition, he must perform 100 hours of community service and maintain no contact with the victim or address.
(Editor's Note: the article previously listed a plea and sentence for Karl Jay Figgs, but the Washington County District Attorney's Office later issued a correction, stating his plea did not go through.)
