Bristol Township police responded around noon last Wednesday to an apartment at the Mill Crossings Apartments in the 6700 block of Mill Creek Road for the report of a disturbance.
A woman who lives in the apartment told an officer Johnson walked into her residence without permission and demanded money. He reportedly scuffled with her and pulled a knife, police said.
Johnson, who had previously stayed with the woman but was no longer welcome, threatened to kill her if she didn’t turn over $300, police said.

The woman had a small laceration on her finger from the scuffle, police said.
Johnson was found by responding officers near the apartment building door. He was discovered to have a pocket knife, suspected marijuana, and suspected crack cocaine, police said.
