Johnson was arrested on state Route 73 and booked on a preliminary trafficking in drugs charge, according to jail records. He has not been formally charged.

“These drugs pose a real danger to every community member in America and are having fatal consequences across the nation,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck. “This case is a great example of how the combined efforts of local, state and federal agencies are helping to keep our community safe and get illegal drugs off of our streets.”
