The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control has announced the arrest of Jason L. Johnson, 49, of Stockton, Missouri, following a detailed investigation by the Troop D Criminal Investigations Unit. Johnson faces several charges, including one count of third-degree domestic assault, one count of unlawful use of a weapon, one count of first-degree harassment, and one count of armed criminal action.
The investigation began on June 23, 2024, when Cedar County Sheriff James McCrary requested assistance from the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control to investigate an alleged assault involving Johnson. The St. Clair County Prosecuting Attorney was subsequently appointed as the special prosecutor for the case.
After thoroughly reviewing the Patrol’s investigation, a Cedar County warrant for Johnson’s arrest was issued on August 7, 2024. The following day, Johnson voluntarily turned himself in to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, posting a $5,000 bond.
