EBENSBURG Described as a “big personality” and “a fun-loving guy,” Cambria County Sheriff’s Deputy Ross Dixon took pride in any duty assigned to him since joining the office in 2005.
The law enforcement veteran passed away on Tuesday due to COVID-19-related complications, as shared by Acting Sheriff Don Robertson and the office’s Facebook page late Tuesday evening.
Flags at Cambria County Courthouse, where Dixon worked in many capacities, flew at half-staff on Wednesday while a moment of silence for the deputy was observed during a meeting of the Cambria County Prison Board.
Cambria County Courthouse 11:03 pm
With no end in sight to the pandemic, court systems are continuing to function during the coronavirus, with some adjustments.
Like many other public buildings, the Cambria County Courthouse requires masks to enter the building, uses a thermal temperature scanner and is working in socially distanced courtrooms. The district attorney’s office has also been handling several cases via video calls.
“We can’t afford for the justice system to not function. It just has to continue to function. Again, we owe that to victims, defendants have rights, and we owe that to the public to continue to serve and we are doing so in the best and safest possible manner,” explained Cambria County District Attorney, Greg Neugebauer.
