RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Special Deputy Attorney General Torrey Dixon is on administrative leave after his weekend arrest in Raleigh on public indecency and intoxication charges.

Court records say Dixon had been shouting insults and obscenities at others around him, including threatening assault. Arrest warrants also say Dixon exposed himself on the corner of Glenwood Avenue and Blue Ridge Road in front of other people and cars.

According to sources, Dixon was scheduled to participate in the Men Wear Pink Fashion Show at Crabtree Valley Mall for the American Cancer Society. Organizers say they blocked him from entering because he appeared intoxicated.

Dixon has been with the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office since 2009, according to his LinkedIn account . The N.C. Department of Justice told CBS 17 that Dixon is now on administrative leave.

Dixon’s next court appearance is Sept. 24.
