Biography

Johnson, a 24-year-old Akron mother of three, joined peaceful demonstrations after Jayland Walker’s killing. The complaint alleges police arrested her when she returned to a car they had blocked in, charged her with rioting, failing to disperse and misconduct at an emergency, and held her overnight in County Jail until late July 5, 2022. All charges were eventually dismissed; the complaint gives no exact dismissal date. The individual narrative does not supply a precise arrest date. These accounts and the misconduct allegations are attributed to the plaintiffs’ June 29, 2023 civil complaint, not judicial findings.
