Former Tennessee Sheriff’s Captain Accused of Shooting Salesman

Johnson reportedly believed the salesman was a hitman because her son, who is currently incarcerated for child rape, warned her a local gang might be after her, WATN-TV reported.

Johnson was previously a captain in the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, but in 2016, she was charged for coercion of witnesses and official misconduct, according to WATN-TV.

The charges were reportedly related to her son’s criminal case.
