In response to this incident, local schools took precautionary steps by restricting access to their facilities to ensure the safety of students and staff.
At the time of his escape, Dixon was last observed wearing denim trousers, an orange shirt, and brown boots; however, it is possible that he has changed into a white T-shirt.
