Man shot at downtown Budget Inn
Jeremy Dixon, a 32-year-old Milledgeville resident, was found “bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound to his upper left arm and possible gunshot wound to his chin and lower lip,” according to the police report.
“A strong pungent odor of marijuana” came from the room where the incident was reported, according to the reporting officer.
Several occupants of the inn heard three consecutive gunshots fired in a room near where they were staying. When police arrived at the scene, the bystanders pointed toward a wide open door with blood on the ground leading to the room, according the police.
Dixon said he opened the door and saw a female he recognized, but did not know her name. He then noticed two males with her, one of which proceeded to pull out a pistol and begin firing at Dixon, according to police.
The report stated Dixon and the shooter began to struggle outside in the parking lot of the inn while others in the parking lot ran toward East Hancock Street. Dixon proceeded to take the pistol from the shooter and put it in the bathroom trashcan in the room where the attack began. Officers arrived on the scene soon after.
Emergency Medical Services took Dixon to Oconee Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room following the incident.
