Florida CB Dijon Johnson won't face prosecution following arrest on felony gun and drug charges
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Florida cornerback Dijon Johnson won't face prosecution for two felony charges that followed a traffic stop in May, his attorney said Monday. Attorney Tim Taylor said the state attorney's office has filed paperwork confirming 'no further action' in the case. 'We have worked closely with prosecutors on this for the past few months and are pleased with their diligence and professionalism,' Taylor said. 'Dijon and his family are happy to have this matter behind them. Dijon is focused on his academic and football commitments and is excited for the start of the football season.' The Gators open fall camp Wednesday. Police in Tampa charged Johnson with two felonies, including possession of a firearm, and two misdemeanors in May. Officers said they pulled him over for running a stop sign and detected a 'strong odor of burned marijuana.' They said Johnson was argumentative during the traffic stop and refused to exit the gray Dodge Challenger, according to the criminal report filed in Hillsborough County. Johnson was removed from the car and placed into custody. A vehicle search found marijuana and 8 grams of synthetic marijuana inside a backpack. A black Glock 19 loaded with 17 rounds in a magazine also was found in the car, according to the report. Johnson entered written pleas of not guilty to all charges, according to court documents. A 6-foot-1, 196-pound junior from Tampa, Johnson recorded 27 tackles and two pass breakups last season. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

Body left at hospital linked to JB petrol station shooting, Malaysia News
A man who was shot during an alleged robbery attempt at a petrol station in Johor, was later found dead at a hospital at Sultanah Aminah Hospital there. The incident occurred around 12.10am on Thursday (July 3) at a Shell petrol station in Iskandar Puteri, near the Second Link Expressway. CCTV footage circulating online shows a silver vehicle pulling up next to a parked black Honda, and four men armed with machetes stepping out and attacking the black car. [embed] Moments later, passengers in the black car can be seen firing several gunshots. The group in the silver car then flees the scene — three men leaving in the car, and one escaping on foot. Three men were later seen exiting the Honda shortly after, before two of them drove off with it. Johor police commissioner M. Kumar said in a statement that the authorities were alerted to a man's body left at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital at around 1.40am, reported The Star. CCTV footage showed two people leaving the body at the hospital, and quickly leaving the scene in a dark-coloured car. A post-mortem confirmed the victim had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. He did not have any identification on him, but fingerprint records later identified him as a 42-year-old Indian man from Sungai Petani, Kedah. He was also found to have a criminal record. When asked if the victim was one of the attackers in the attempted robbery, Kumar said the matter was still under investigation. Following initial investigations, three men were arrested in Kuala Lumpur's Dang Wangi district. The suspects, aged between 30 and 40, include two Malaysians and one Indian national. Police seized several items during the arrest, including a Glock 19 pistol, a magazine loaded with six 9mm bullets, spent shell casings, and a black Honda Accord. One of the suspects is believed to be a licensed bodyguard and owns a firearm. Authorities are verifying the legitimacy of the licence. The suspects have been remanded until July 10 to assist with investigations. The case is being probed under multiple charges, including murder, rioting with weapons, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. Police said efforts are ongoing to locate other suspects believed to be involved in the incident. Members of the public are advised not to speculate or spread unverified information online as investigations are still ongoing, they added. [[nid:719811]]

Fatal twist in petrol station robbery attempt
JOHOR BARU: An armed robbery attempt at a petrol station in Iskandar Puteri has taken a deadly turn, with one man dead. The incident unfolded around 12.10am on Thursday, when four masked men, each armed with parang, attempted to ambush a vehicle parked at the petrol station near the Second Link Expressway. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the brazen attack, which has gone viral on social media, showed the men smashing the windows of a parked car. In response, one of the car's passengers fired several gunshots, forcing the attackers to flee. Three suspects ran back to their getaway vehicle, while the fourth escaped on foot. The body of a man, with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen, was found an hour later at Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA). Johor police chief Comm Datuk M. Kumar confirmed the discovery of the body at HSA. 'At approximately 1.40am, hospital staffers alerted police to the presence of the body with multiple gunshot wounds. 'CCTV footage showed two men leaving the body at the hospital entrance in a dark-coloured vehicle before driving off,' he said in a statement here on Friday night. Comm Kumar added the deceased was later identified as a 42-year-old Malaysian from Sungai Petani, Kedah, with four prior criminal records. He also said that a post-mortem confirmed he died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. When asked if the victim was one of the attackers in the attempted robbery, Comm Kumar said police were still investigating the matter. He added following initial investigations, police arrested three men in Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, around 7pm on the same day. 'The suspects, two Malaysians and one Indian national, aged between 30 and 40, were nabbed by a joint team from the Johor police headquarters and Iskandar Puteri district police,' he said. Comm Kumar added police also made several seizures during the arrest including a component of a Glock 19 pistol, a licensed firearm permit and six rounds of 9mm bullets, bullet casings and a black car believed to have been used in the incident. 'One of the suspects works as a licensed personal bodyguard, and preliminary checks show he has a firearm licence. 'However, police are investigating whether the weapon was used according to legal protocols,' he said, adding that the suspects were being remanded for seven days until July 10 to assist in the investigations. Comm Kumar said the police were investigating the incident under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, Section 148 of the same Act for rioting with weapons and Section 39 of the Arms Act for discharging a firearm outside a licensed shooting range. He added further investigations are ongoing to establish the connection between the deceased and the suspects, as well as to trace other individuals involved in the attack.

Body with gunshot wounds found following video of JB petrol station shooting
A dramatic video showing a shooting at a Johor Bahru petrol station has gone viral - and just hours later, a man's body bearing gunshot wounds was found at a local hospital. The video, widely circulated online, shows a black car pulling into a petrol station in Gelang Patah - a rest stop near the Second Link frequently visited by Singapore drivers. While the vehicle is parked in a corner, a silver car pulls up and four masked men in black baseball caps emerge and begin hacking at the car's right windows. Gunshots ring out from inside the black car, prompting the attackers to flee - three of them scrambling back into their car, while the fourth runs out of the station and disappears from view. The incident happened at 12.12am on July 3. About 90 minutes later, at 1.40am, the body of a man with gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen was left at the emergency department of Sultanah Aminah Hospital, said Johor Police, according to The Star. The police are now attempting to establish links between the dead man and those involved in the recorded incident. Johor police chief M. Kumar said in a statement on July 4 that CCTV footage from the hospital showed two individuals dropping off the body in a dark-coloured car before leaving. Fingerprint analysis identified the deceased as a 42-year-old man from Kedah with four previous convictions. A post-mortem has confirmed that the man died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. Mr Kumar added that initial investigations led to the arrests of three suspects between the ages of 30 and 40 - two Malaysians and an Indian national - in Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, at around 7pm on the same day. The operation was conducted by a joint team from Johor police headquarters and the Iskandar Puteri district police. Among the items seized were the upper receiver of a Glock 19 pistol, a licensed firearm permit, six rounds of 9mm bullets, bullet casings and a black car. According to the police chief, one suspect works as a licensed personal bodyguard. While he possesses a firearms licence, authorities are still investigating the ownership of the seized pistol and whether it was used legally. The case is being investigated for murder, rioting with weapons and discharging a firearm outside of a designated firing range. "This is an isolated incident. There is no broader threat to public safety, and Johor remains secure," said Mr Kumar.
