Alto ISD coach accused of improper relationship with student. Houston County bailiff and sheriff investigator indicted. DPS Sergeant booked for indecency.
Alto, TX: Alto ISD coach Paul Dixon is currently under investigation by authorities for having an alleged improper teacher/student relationship with an underage girl. Coach Dixon, age 37, turned in his resignation last week in response to allegations of text messaging a female student. Another “unnamed” Alto ISD faculty member has also resigned for allegedly obstructing the investigation. Teacher/student improprieties can be prosecuted as 2nd degree felonies under current Texas law.

Crockett, TX: Tyler’s federal court has indicted two Houston County sheriff deputies for an alleged civil rights violation occurring in the Davy Crockett National Forest. District court bailiff Charles James Clark and narcotics investigator Henry Doyce Gresham, Jr. are both charged with conspiracy and assault of a Crockett, TX man the pair allegedly TASERED and left for dead out in the National Forest in July 2008. The two Houston County deputies, Clark age 63 and Gresham age 50, are on administrative leave pending their federal trial. No need for a pseudo-concerned citizen and buddy-buddy district judge to call an urgent removal hearing for this bailiff and narcotics officer, a la’ Randall Thompson.
Rusk, TX: Cherokee County DPS Sergeant Thomas Bledsoe was suspended with pay Friday March 20, 2009 from an indecent exposure arrest earlier the previous month. Sgt. Bledsoe allegedly pulled his pants down and flashed a female DPS employee on February 3rd. He was moved from the Cherokee County office in Jacksonville to the Palestine, TX DPS office after the initial complaint. The Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident.

I went to school with both John and Paul Dixon. At the time his dad John Paul Dixon was a coach at our High School and he had an affair with my friend. She lost her dad and he was always there to “comfort” her. I saw them kiss and talk on the phone several times, so its no suprise that his boys have taken the same path. Makes me sick!

The “other” faculty member was Paul’s father, John Paul Dixon. He was sent home with pay because he confronted the young girl that “tattled” on his son and threatened her saying she had better not ruin his son’s life. I think his son ruined his life on his own!

Is unlikely that Alto’s High School Coach Paul Dixon and/or former Alto coach John Paul Dixon, his father, will actually be held accountable for what they have been accused. Because if those accusations were proven to be true, then the Dixons would likely be inclined to divulge the sordid closet shenanigans of some of Alto’s version of ’finest’. A diversified assortment of both male and female social club members, teachers, elected officials, local business owners and church leaders would be at risk to be outed as counterfeit Christians and worse.
