A former Chicago alderman was ordered held on bond today after being charged with illegally carrying a loaded gun at a West Side police station over the weekend, authorities said.
Sharon Denise Dixon--who ended her term as alderman of the 24 th Ward in 2011--was ordered held in lieu of $25,000 bail in a hearing today before Cook County Criminal Court Judge Donald Panarese, said state’s attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton. Dixon, 50, of the 1600 block of South Central Park Avenue, is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a loaded weapon and failure to register a firearm.
Dixon was arrested Saturday morning at the Ogden District Police Station, 3315 W. Ogden Ave. in the Lawndale neighborhood, after coming into the station and lingering for a while and then showing a holstered gun to an officer just outside the district station, authorities said.
