Looking at the report via TMZ, the report states that officials believe Johnson offered money to a man to kill two men that were suspected of shooting Johnson’s friend in 2015.

But I think it taught me how to live different – not going to certain places and not being in certain places. Knowing I got two kids and they need me here, it definitely helped me be smarter.It made me understand what stuff I can do and what stuff I can’t do, what places I should be at and what places I shouldn’t be at.”
