New charges filed against suspect in Florida officer’s slay
ORLANDO, Fla. – A Florida man suspected in the killing of his pregnant ex-girlfriend and an Orlando police officer is being charged with additional crimes.
Markeith Loyd was back in an Orange County courtroom on Saturday regarding three charges of aggravated assault with a firearm.
The Orlando Sentinel reported (http://bit.ly/2jB0aik ) that this time Loyd’s court appearance went smoothly. During a court appearance earlier this month Loyd cursed and shouted at a judge.
The Sentinel reported that the new charges are related to an August incident that occurred nearly four months before Loyd was accused of killing 24-year-old Sade Dixon.
Loyd is facing two first-degree murder counts and a host of other charges related to the deaths of his ex-girlfriend and Lt. Debra Clayton.
