Johnson was ordered to complete the Star program and any recommended aftercare.

The Court ordered that, if Johnson violates any of the community control sanctions, he would be given a sentence of between six and 12 months and ordered to pay a $2,500 fine.

According to court documents, on or around May 31, 2022, a sergeant and an investigator met with a confidential informant (CI) who said they could purchase one gram of fentanyl from Johnson for $100. The CI was searched and then given an audio/video recorder and $100 in recorded buy money. The CI walked to the home of someone on Blaine Street and walked into the garage where they met with Johnson.

The CI gave Johnson the money, after which Johnson gave them a knotted plastic bag of “off-white” powdery substance. The CI left one minute later and was picked up by the sergeant and investigator. The CI gave them the bag of substance which was then given to BCI for analysis, where it tested positive as .84 grams of a fentanyl-related compound, a Schedule II controlled substance. The CI picked Johnson out of a photo lineup.
