Johnson charged with backyard shooting incident
A La Crosse man is now charged with a shooting incident this month at a house on 5th Avenue South.
Tyrone Johnson is accused of firing four shots in the backyard of a house on the night of January 20th, and then driving off in a van carrying young kids. No one was hurt by the gunfire.
Police found two firearms in the van.
Johnson was convicted on drug charges in Illinois five years ago, and local prosecutor Megan Gomez notes that Johnson has four other open cases in La Crosse County.
Judge Gloria Doyle has set
Because of conflicts of interest, an attorney from outside the public defender’s office will be appointed to represent Johnson.
