Keandre Lamont Johnson, 27, from Nashville, faces serious federal charges, including possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a machine gun, as detailed in a federal criminal complaint that was announced by Thomas J. Jaworski, the Acting United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. Arrested on March 21, 2024, Johnson was allegedly found with a .40 caliber Glock, a machinegun conversion device, various drugs, and cash.
According to the complaint released by theU.S. Attorney’s Office, the Metro Nashville Police Department conducted a surveillance operation that led to Johnson’s arrest. At the time, he was known to have an active warrant. Police reportedly seized a modified Glock, capable of automatic fire, from his pants, which triggered federal firearm offenses. Furthermore, during his subsequent arrest last Monday, while out on bond, Johnson was charged with additional crimes, including aggravated assault stemming from a shooting in East Nashville.
Jaworski emphasized the commitment of his office to community safety, stating, “We remain vigilant so that those on bond will not put others at risk from their release.” He highlighted the actions taken as a reiteration of their “office s commitment to protecting the community from those who wreak havoc while illegally possessing firearms,” as reported by theU.S. Attorney’s Office.
The investigation into Johnson’s activities is a joint effort between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachel Stephens leading the prosecution. If convicted in federal court on these charges, the felon faces a prison sentence of 37 to 46 months a stark contrast to the brief freedom he experienced while out on bond.
While the federal complaint presents a damning account, it is important to remember that these allegations remain unproven until substantiated in court. As the legal process unfolds, Johnson is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless and until a court rules otherwise.
