officers with the FCSO, RPD, and MCDTF conducted a search warrant of Johnson’s residence and detained Johnson at the scene.

Johnson was arrested at the scene and booked at the Fulton County Detention Center on four counts of Dealing Methamphetamine, all Level 2 Felonies; and two counts of Possession of Methamphetamine, both Level 4 Felonies. An initial hearing for Johnson is scheduled for July 6.
