A defaced .40-caliber handgun was recovered from the vehicle. Johnson was later located in his home and was taken into custody.
Johnson was charged with two counts of first-degree attempted murder and four related weapons offenses. Johnson was transported to the Union County Jail pending his first appearance and detention hearing in Union County Superior Court.
