Allegations:
Johnson was sitting in the passenger's seat of a parked car when Officers Meeks and McGrone approached him in a police car. Meeks ordered him to get out of the car. Johnson was searched, arrested and taken to a police station, where he was charged with several felonies, including possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition and possession of cannabis.

The cannabis charge was dropped, and Johnson was acquitted of all substantive charges after more than a year in jail.
