24-year-old Derrick Johnson of Greenwood, LA.
After two loose dogs mauled another dog and dragged it to their owner’s home, it led authorities to the home and arrest of 24-year-old Derrick Johnson of Greenwood. Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Bia Rolan said it happened Friday evening after the owner of the dog that was attacked called them and while waiting for Johnson to return home…
“The 24-year-old arrived and as he was exiting the vehicle the deputies were able to smell some marijuana and were able to see a gun,” said Rolan.
The marijuana smell from his car and a visible gun then prompted authorities to run his record. Rolan said Johnson’s prior convictions then allowed officers to secure a search warrant for the home.
“They were able to find two rifles, two pistols, 13 large bags of marijuana, more than 13 pounds, and it was valued at about $61,000,” said Rolan.
Rolan said if it wasn’t for Johnson’s dogs he would still be on the streets.
“It was really a sad start to the investigation but it’s a good thing that they were able to find him and figure out what was going on there,” said Roland.
Johnson was arrested for possession with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and dog at large charges.
