Additionally, a Smith and Wesson 9mm semi-automatic pistol with corresponding ammunition was located. A records check confirmed that both firearms had been reported stolen from the City of Fresno.
In addition to the initial charges, Johnson was booked into the Monterey County Jail on multiple felony counts, including possession of stolen property, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and being a felon in possession of ammunition. He also faces charges for violation of a court order, criminal storage of a firearm, and possession of a high-capacity magazine.
