[edit] Personal Life

Johnson was arrested over a scuffle involving police in the early hours of 28th September - on the eve of Geelong's 2007 Grand Final appearance, which Johnson was not selected to be playing in, but was a member of the Geelong VFL side's premiership the previous week.[1][2].

Police alleged that Johnson had assaulted two men and a woman on Moorabool St in Geelong, and ran off when confronted by Police[1][2]. The incident occurred at 4:15am, and police had to chase Johnson 200m down the street and subdue him with capsicum spray, before they could arrest him[1][2].

Johnson had already come to the attention of police earlier that night following his eviction from a Geelong nightclub[1][2]. He had to be driven home by Police, before they found him again on Moorabool St. Johnson was taken back to a Geelong Police station, and was interviewed overnight. It is expected that he will be facing charges related to assaulting three people, as well as assaulting police and resisting arrest[1][2].
