So you're first-year Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen.  You've got one real weapon on offense.  He's a senior.  And he just got arrested last night.

Not exactly the news that Mullen wanted to hear heading into his Wednesday presser at SEC Media Days in Hoover, Alabama.

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reports that Mullen is aware of the charges and is gathering information before handing out a punishment.  But no one is officially saying what MSU's workhorse tailback has been charged with.

Unofficially, the speculation centers on a DUI.  We shall see.

Dixon was chosen last week as a second-team All-SEC running back by the league's coaches.
