Ex-Hampton Sheriff's Office lieutenant Carolyn Johnson, and her husband were both found guilty of animal cruelty charges. On Friday, the two were sentenced by a judge.
Mike Johnson, who was found guilty of 10 counts of animal fighting and eight counts of animal cruelty, was sentenced to one year in prison. He will be fined $10,000 and he won't be allowed to own an animal ever again. Carolyn Johnson, who was found guilty for eight counts of animal cruelty, was not sentenced to any prison time.
The charges against the Johnsons originate from a case in 2023. After a search warrant was executed, court records state that authorities found four adult pit bulls and four pit bull puppies “in poor conditions” on the Johnsons' property. Some of the listed conditions indicated that some or all of the pit bulls lacked access to water and shelter, and were suffering from fleas.
President Donald Trump met with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele on Wednesday. This meeting was underscored by the Trump administration's disregard for the U.S. Supreme Court's order to "facilitate" the return a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador.
Bukele claims he has no authority to return man US mistakenly deported to El SalvadorIn a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was seeking asylum, should be returned after being deported due to an "administrative error." Abrego Garcia was one of over 200 individuals deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador in March. He had a court order protecting him from deportation to El Salvador due to credible fears for his life if he were to return — he also has an American wife and three children.
Bukele claimed on Monday that he does not have the authority to return Abrego Garcia. Also during the meeting, Trump said he has "no problem" with sending a "home-grown criminal" to another country, adding that Attorney General Pam Bondi is currently studying the laws to find out if there is a legal way to do it.
