ROBERTSDALE --- A sixth arrest has been made in connection with an ongoing investigation into the death of a Milton, Fla., man whose body was found last month off of County Road 68 near Styx River.

On Friday, it was reported that Baldwin County and Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Charles Eric Ozier, 24 in Tuscaloosa on charges of hindering prosecution in connection with the death of Samuel Dixson.

Dixson, 54, was reported missing on Monday, Sept. 10 and was later identified as a homicide victim after his body was found near the Styx River Bridge on Wednesday, Sept. 12, by volunteers from the Styx River Volunteer Fire Department.

Two suspects, Adam Lowery Mayton, 28, of Tuscaloosa, and Fred “Shooter” Weiss, 45, of Northport, were arrested Sept. 12 by the Tuscaloosa Sheriff’s Office and Homicide Task Force. The two were transported from the Tuscaloosa County Jail and arraigned in Baldwin County Sept. 14 on first degree murder charges. As of Friday, both remain in jail on bonds of $1 million.

Mary Kay Hockett, 48, of Loxley, was reportedly arrested on Sept. 14, charged with hindering prosecution in the case. Two more suspects, Bruce Talbot, 41, of Robertsdale, and Ruth Boyles, 45, listed as homeless, were reportedly arrested on charges of hindering prosecution in connection with Dixson’s death. Arrest records for the three suspects are no longer available on the Baldwin County Corrections website.

Ozier is currently being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail awaiting extradition to Baldwin County.

According to a press release issued last month, Mayton and Weiss, as well as the victim, are members of the Devil’s Disciples motorcycle gang. Ozier and Talbot are also reportedly members of the gang.

 “It is believed at this time the motive is related to an internal squabble within the gang,” it was stated in the release.

The victim was identified during a press conference held Sept. 13 in Bay Minette.

Dixson was reported missing to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Department on Monday, Sept. 10, by his wife, who stated she had last spoken with her husband the night of Friday, Sept. 7.

The Sheriff’s Department issued an alert for Dixson and his vehicle on Sept. 10. A short time later the BCSO was contacted by the Escambia County, Fla., Sheriff’s Office and told that they had run the tag for Dixson’s truck on Sept. 8. They returned the following Monday to find the truck in the same location and took it into evidence. There was no sign of foul play at the scene. Investigators recovered the victim’s walking cane within the truck.

Around 2 a.m. Sept. 10, the Rosinton Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire which destroyed a trailer on Northcutt Lane. Sheriff’s officials believe the trailer was a club house for an Alabama chapter of the Devil’s Diciples motorcycle gang.

On Sept. 11, according to a press release issued by the Sheriff’s Department, two men walked into the Robertsdale Police Department and stated that they were there to turn themselves into authorities on a homicide.

After requesting and speaking with council provided by law enforcement, the two men stated they would not provide any information related to the case and would not make a statement. Both subjects were later released. One of the men was transported to Thomas Hospital for injuries related to blunt force trauma.

On Sept. 12, volunteers with the Styx River Fire Department found Dixson’s body off County Road 68 near the Styx River Bridge. The body was recovered by investigators and sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for autopsy.

The trailer fire was under investigation by the Alabama State Fire Marshals. The Federal Bureau of Investigations and Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also assisted in the investigation.
