A Racine man is facing 11 felony charges after a police raid on his residence earlier this month allegedly uncovered significant quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, stolen firearms, and untraceable, privately made firearms often referred to as ‘ghost guns’. Keadrian L. Belt-Dixon, 33, was arrested on November 5 after officers executed a search warrant at a home on Washington Avenue.
Details of the Search and Seizure
According to the criminal complaint, officers from the Racine Police Department searched a bedroom identified as belonging to Belt-Dixon. Inside, authorities reported seizing over 50 grams of cocaine, nearly 4 grams of fentanyl, MDMA pills, and marijuana. The search also yielded six firearms, including two reported stolen and three without serial numbers. Additionally, police found two 3D printers, over 550 rounds of ammunition, and various firearm manufacturing components.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
Belt-Dixon appeared in Racine County Circuit Court on November 11, where a court commissioner set a cash bond of $35,000. The charges filed against him include multiple counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, possession with intent to deliver cocaine and fentanyl, and maintaining a drug trafficking place. Several charges carry enhanced penalties due to prior felony convictions, including a 2014 case for cocaine distribution.
During a traffic stop conducted while the search was underway, Belt-Dixon allegedly admitted to police that the drugs found in the bedroom were his and accepted responsibility for the items seized. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 20. It is important to note that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
