Meagan Dixon MERIDIAN COUNTY, CA – Woman, 44, arrested for allegedly suffocating Son, 11, to death outside Meridian

Meagan Dixon MERIDIAN COUNTY, CA – Authorities in California have arrested Meagan Dixon, 44, on homicide charges following the tragic discovery of her 11-year-old son’s lifeless body in a trailer at Lovey’s Landing RV Park, outside Meridian.

Sutter County Sheriff Brandon Barnes confirmed that the boy, whose name has not been released, appeared to have been suffocated and may have been dead for several days.

The grim discovery was made on Sunday morning after concerned neighbors reported not seeing the child outside for some time.

Neighbors also described a heated altercation with Dixon, whose erratic behavior they suspected was drug-induced or manic. The argument prompted residents to alert authorities, who found the boy’s body during a welfare check.

Dixon is being held on a $1 million bail while investigators work to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the boy’s death.

“Our hearts go out to the community and family members impacted by this tragedy,” Sheriff Barnes said during a press briefing. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are asking anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward.
