On Tuesday, Johnson was arrested in the 200-block of Clinton Avenue. He was found with a loaded .380 caliber handgun, according to police.

He has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats and weapons offenses.

“I commend the detectives of Special Victims Unit for their quick actions in removing this armed suspect from our streets,” Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said.
