Dixon provided crack cocaine to a confidential informant and an undercover ATF agent on multiple occasions, according to the plea agreement.

Officials with the U.S. attorney's office said Dixon bragged about his access to firearms and told the confidential informant and the agent that he could sell them a gun "with no bodies on it."

During a meeting on June 30, Dixon sold the undercover agent a semi-automatic pistol and 47 rounds of ammunition, officials said. Dixon is prohibited as a previously convicted felon from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.

Officials said a sentencing date has not yet been set.
