Yesterday around 3:51 PM that day at Steamer Landing Park in Petaluma, CA, parkgoers noticed a man walking through the park, dressed in nothing more than a black speedo and fur-lined boots.
According to local police reports, the suspect, identified as 48-year-old James Francis Johnson, was arrested by Petaluma Police after he was found in possession of a loaded Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun. Adding to the severity of the incident, the weapon had a high-capacity magazine in its well. Johnson was also found wearing scant attire in a public park.
What makes this incident particularly noteworthy is not only the presence of a loaded firearm but the suspect's demeanor and response to police officers attempting to arrest him. Johnson initially resisted arrest, engaging in a brief struggle before he was finally secured in handcuffs.
Ultimately, James Francis Johnson was transported to Sonoma County's Main Adult Detention Facility, according to the police report. He now faces charges for carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, manufacturing, selling, and possessing a large capacity magazine, obstructing and resisting peace officers, and violating probation.
