Deputies said Jameis Slaughter identified herself as her twin sister.
Jameis Slaughter is facing charges of accessory and giving a false name.
She is the ex-girlfriend of Markeith Loyd, 41, who is accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend in December.
Deputies said she went to Loyd’s home four days after Dixon’s death to get rent money from him.

Deputies said in the hours after Clayton’s death, Slaughter circled around the Walmart in her car.
Two other people were arrested Wednesday on allegations they had information on Loyd's whereabouts.
