The Florida State freshman turned himself in on June 30 to the Leon County Jail after a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He was later released on $500 bond, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

In the video, the six-foot, 177-pound Johnson is shown standing near a bar. Johnson starts talking to a woman before the two trade viscous blows to the head.

Johnson is from Jacksonville and attended First Coast High School.
