Nixon faces the following charges:
- 1 count organized scheme to defraud
- 1 count grand theft
- 4 counts official misconduct
- 4 counts forgery
- 4 counts of uttering
- 2 counts of possession of a firearm by convicted felon
Beville told WTXL ABC 27 that Nixon is accused of stealing $32,700 from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and using it for a business he was running.
Beville says Nixon was booked in the Gadsden County Jail and that this incident is being investigated by the FDLE and State Attorney's Office.
