7 p.m. and taken in for questioning. “Within about two hours, it became apparent that he was involved,” Franklin said. “Later, he confessed that he had fired several gunshots at Adams with a .22 caliber handgun while they sat in the car. He said Adams then tried to exit the car and stumbled in front of it. Johnson said he slid across the console, took control of the car and ran over Adams multiple times.” Franklin said the argument between Johnson and Adams focused around money and drugs. He said Johnson’s charges included robbery because he allegedly took money and a cell phone from the victim. Johnson is a former Tallassee High School basketball star.
