Reckless Driving, Unlawful Fleeing

Police said they observed her taking a left turn from West Lake Drive onto Flamingo Avenue at a high speed and spinning her tires, and nearly hit a patrol car in doing so. According to reports, the patrol car immediately began following the vehicle while activating its lights and sirens, though Dixon-German accelerated over 100 miles per hour attempting to get away.

Police said she passed cars illegally and ran motorists off the roadway, continuing into South Euclid Avenue and South Embassy Street before pulling into Marshalls Service Station.

Police said that upon contacting her, Dixon-German appeared highly agitated and was uncooperative. She was arrested, transported to police headquarters, processed, and released on a $100 appearance ticket, with a return date of Nov. 30.

According to police reports, Schlitt was witnessed driving 60 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone, and failed to maintain his travel lane by crossing over the white shoulder line. Police said that after a patrol car began to follow Schlitt, he maintained a speed of 60 miles per hour.

Reports state that upon being stopped, police noticed a strong odor of alcohol on Schlitt’s breath, his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and his speech was slurred. Police said he performed poorly on all roadside sobriety tests.

Upon investigation, police said they found Schlitt’s license had been suspended twice in 1998 for failing to show for a summons.

The owner of D’Canela’s reported that Connors, after walking into a restaurant with a beer in his hand and being refused service of alcohol, went outside and threw trash at the storefront.
