An agreement was reached for the equivalent of a six-year sentence for Johnson on possession of fentanyl for trafficking, plus five further days for failing to appear in court. Johnson was credited with already serving 310 days awaiting trial, leaving five years and 55 days left in his sentence. Johnson’s defence lawyer told the judge his client was injured at work in 2001 and was over-prescribed painkillers, becoming addicted. “He understands what he was doing was wrong and plans to do his time, get out and move on with his life.”
