Antifa Leader Dwayne Dixon Arrested In Connection To Silent Sam Protests

Editor’s Note: I also have the story up on Antifa Arrests.

Antifa leader Dwayne Dixon who chased James Fields, Jr. in Charlottesville has been arrested in connection with the Silent Sam protests:

“HILLSBOROUGH – An editor for a national right-wing news site says UNC-Chapel Hill lecturer Dwayne Dixon should be fired after allegedly assaulting him at the Aug. 20 Silent Sam protest.

“He should not be teaching, and he should not be earning taxpayer dollars,” said Patrick Howley, editor-in-chief for the Big League Politics news site, citing Dixon’s involvement in recent demonstrations.

Howley, a former reporter for the Breitbart News Network, spoke with reporters last week after court hearings in Orange County for Silent Sam protesters. Howley said then he would be pressing charges against Dixon.

On Tuesday night, UNC Police released an arrest report accusing Dixon of simple assault. Simple assault means no weapons were used and an incident did not cause serious injury.

The arrest report says Dixon, 46, of Durham, was served with a criminal summons Thursday afternoon, hours before another clash between supporters and opponents of the Confederate statue that stood on McCorkle Place before protesters pulled it down Aug. 20. Seventeen people have been charged in connection with three protests at the monument site.

The arrest report orders Dixon to appear in court Sept. 27. …”

Dixon assaulted Patrick Howley of Big League Politics on August 20th.

Note: If you haven’t already seen it, Big League Politics recently published an excellent article a few days ago on violent Antifa in North Carolina.
