Johnson also claimed that the president instructed him to steal the truck he drove to Patrick, an F-150 he stole days prior. According to police, Johnson did not know who the owner of the truck was and was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle.

This is the Space Force’s second incident in recent months following a fatal shooting outside of the New Boston Space Force Station in mid May.
