Maricopa County Man Indicted for Alleged Attempted Murder of DCS Case Worker

The recent indictment of Deandre Terrell Johnson, age 30, has been the subject of considerable attention after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office released details of his alleged violent attack on a Department of Child Safety (DCS) case worker following a meeting concerning his daughter. According to theMaricopa County Attorney’s Office, Johnson is accused of an attempted strangulation that left the case worker unconscious, an attack that was followed by Johnson’s attempt to flee from law enforcement officials.

The charges leveled against Johnson are severe, including one count of Attempt to Commit First Degree Murder (Dangerous), a Class Two Felony, one count of Aggravated Assault, a Class Four Felony, one count of Unlawful Flight from Law Enforcement Vehicle, a Class Five Felony, and four counts of Disorderly Conduct, which are Class One Misdemeanors, as detailed by theMaricopa County Attorney’s Office. The cash bond has been set at half a million dollars, reflecting the gravity of the charges against him. Currently, Johnson remains in custody as he awaits further legal proceedings.

While Johnson maintains his innocence until proven guilty, the victim’s ordeal serves as a sobering reminder of the threats faced by those in public service. The bond, serves, not just as literal collateral against flight risk but also as a figurative testament to the high stakes our justice system places on the protection of its guardians. For now, the details of Johnson’s motivation and the sequence of events that culminated in that fateful meeting remain under the scrutiny of the court.
