Jovan T. Butler, 29, and Kamara C. Johnson, 31, both employed by Executive Patrol, were arrested Sunday morning after a man accused Butler of pointing a gun at him while the guard was on duty at an apartment complex on Allison Court in southwest Atlanta, the police report said.
The man who made the allegations, Martey Robinson, 21, had been taken into custody for trespassing at the apartment complex where the guards were working, the report said.Butler and Johnson denied having a weapon in the guards’ vehicle, but an officer found a loaded .45-caliber gun between the driver and passenger seats, the report said.A background check revealed Johnson’s warrants in the city of Atlanta.
Johnson was arrested for her outstanding warrants on charges of aggravated assault and burglary. Butler was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, pointing a pistol at another and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to jail logs.The report states that Butler had a felony drug conviction from 1999, but Butler said in a phone interview Wednesday that he doesn’t have a felony drug conviction, but rather a 2002 felony conviction related to a domestic violence incident and an earlier misdemeanor conviction for marijuana possession.
Butler contended that he did not know there was a gun in vehicle and denied pointing it at Robinson.When reached by phone, the owner of the company, Willie Manson, said both guards had been with him for less than six weeks.
He said he did not run a criminal background check on Johnson and did not know she had warrants for her arrest. Manson said he knew about Butler’s criminal convictions when he hired him.
