Felony Suspect Arrested After Alabama Manhunt

June 13, 2016

A man wanted on an outstanding felony warrant and a person of interest in a murder was arrested after a manhunt late Sunday afternoon near Flomaton.

Johnny Jermaine Johnson, 38, was taken into custody by the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office on escape charges from community corrections, according to Escambia County (AL) Chief Deputy Mike Lambert. He was apprehended on Fannie Church Road, near Highway 31, just east of Flomaton, after a three hour multi-agency manhunt.

Law enforcement officers from Alabama and Florida, along with K-9 teams from the Century Correctional Institution, the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution and Holman Prison, tracked Johnson in an area between Highway 31 and Junction Road for about three hours.

Johnson was reportedly also a person of interest in an apparent murder Sunday morning in Brewton.  Someone reportedly dropped a woman off that was beaten to death outside the D.W. McMillan Hospital Emergency Room Sunday morning. As of early Monday morning, the Brewton Police Department had not released any further information on the apparent murder.

    I hate it took her death for him to get caught. No man should put their hands on a woman no matter what. May she R.I.P my prayers and thoughts are with her family and our friends. She was a good friend to me and everyone else.

    It’s a shame that it took her death for this predator to be locked away! He is a disgrace to society. In a perfect world he would have been shot on sight but karma will catch up with him. He deserves the same treatment he gave her. Rip M.C.

    Johnny Jonson should have been locked up years ago. He has beat her before but this time went to for. I’m glad he was caught and I hope he never she’s daylight again. He’s a monster. Rot in hell Johnny for what you did to her.
