Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office have brought a man into custody following a threatening incident that went down in the 2600 block of Ridge Hollow Drive. Antoine Johnson, the man at the center of the March 26 weapons disturbance call, was not new to the legal system. Already carrying the weight of a previous felony conviction, Johnson found himself in deeper water after the latest altercation, where law enforcement says he drew a firearm.
What started as a verbal disagreement escalated quickly as Johnson allegedly pointed the gun at both the complainant and an innocent bystander - the complainant’s dog. The pointed weapon and uttered threats have now landed Johnson back behind bars. Constable Mark Herman's announcement stated, "Antoine Johnson was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Felon in Possession of Firearm. His total bond was set at $60,000.00 out of the 496th District Court." This information surfaced on Precinct 4's Facebook page.
Johnson's $60,000 bond reflects the seriousness of the charges, making it difficult for him to return to the community before trial. He now awaits a chance to defend himself in the 496th District Court, once a date is scheduled. In the meantime, Precinct 4 continues to update the public via social media, encouraging residents to remain vigilant and informed with their "C4 NOW" mobile app.
