According to the criminal complaint, officers were in the area of Regency Mall on July 3 to locate and arrest Johnson -- a wanted felon. A person who had called police indicated she wanted Johnson "arrested due to him threatening to physically assault her," the complaint says. The caller indicated "Johnson is in possession of a firearm and will shoot at people."
When officers arrived on the scene, they saw a "red Mazda being driven by a female, and (the officer) was able at one point to see inside and saw a male passenger matching a known DOT photo (the officer) viewed of the defendant." The officer activated his emergency lights and siren -- and "the vehicle sped through the Target parking lot in the early afternoon when pedestrians were present." A short time later, the complaint indicates the vehicle left the parking lot and fled westbound on Durand Avenue. A pursuit that followed "lasted approximately six minutes reaching speeds of 62 mph before it was terminated," the complaint says.
