Former Idaho State Representative Brandon Hixon (R-Caldwell) dead after suicide
Caldwell, ID – Former Idaho State Representative Brandon Hixon was found dead in his home after an apparent suicide according to the Canyon County Coroner's office.
Hixon died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound according to the coroner. He was found early this morning by a family member in his Caldwell home.
Hixon was arrested last month for D.U.I, his second, and was also charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest December 9th.
Governor Butch Otter appointed Jarom Wagnoer to fill Hixon's vacated seat after he resigned in October while facing a criminal investigation by the Attorney General's office.

Former Caldwell lawmaker is under investigation for sexual abuse
Former state Rep. Brandon Hixon is under investigation for sexual abuse, according to records provided by the Idaho Attorney General’s Office.
And it’s not the first time he’s been the focus of such an investigation, records newly obtained from the Caldwell Police Department show.
A Caldwell detective in December 2014 looked into a claim that Hixon inappropriately touched someone, possibly a child, according to a partially redacted report the department provided in response to a separate public records request. Charges were never brought because the victim involved was not able to provide enough details, the report indicates. It ends by noting the case could be reopened if the victim “was able to communicate to us later that something has happened.”
