Johnson also told TMZ, "I know people will try to pass judgment on me from my previous record, but I didn't do what I am being charged with."

Johnson has had trouble with the law before. The second-leading rusher in Kansas City Chiefs history has been arrested multiple times for offenses that include allegedly spitting in a woman's face in a club and waving a gun in his (then) girlfriend's face.
