Nixon: Dash and body show Columbus police officers being arrested for OVI by Ohio State Troopers

Nixon, of Galloway, was pulled over by Gahanna police at 3:09 a.m. Friday on I-270 southbound near Hamilton Road. His breath test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.168, over double the legal limit in Ohio, according to his criminal complaint filed in Franklin Municipal Court.

In addition to his OVI charge, Nixon also faces a felony charge of improperly handling a firearm in a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. A loaded 9 mm handgun was found during the traffic stop, Gahanna police reported. Nixon was released Saturday on his own recognizance on the condition that he does not possess firearms or ammunition.
