The Louisiana State University Police Department was called to the PMAC around 4:20 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 14.

LSU PD said a call came in about a smashed front door. When police arrived at the Southeast Corridor, an officer saw rocks inside the entrance and a broken glass door.

A member of the LSU staff said they saw the damaged door minutes before police arrived at the scene.

Officers were able to view camera footage from the PMAC, which showed Johnson throwing rocks and breaking the door.

He was then seen going into and exiting the PMAC. An LSU PD officer saw Johnson go back into the PMAC through the broken door.

Johnson was arrested and searched by the officer. According to an arrest report, pieces of broken glass were found in the man’s jeans pocket during the search.

The officer noticed that Johnson had a cut on his arm and asked him how it happened. Johnson replied, “Would you believe me if I said I threw a rock and hit the glass?”

The Baton Rouge man was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Thursday, Aug. 14.
