During the investigation, Jackie Johnson, 61, was arrested on a felonious assault warrant, a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said Thursday.

Johnson was wanted in connection to a shooting that happened in October in the area of Calumet Lane in Jefferson Twp.

Johnson allegedly shot a man in the arm after an argument, according to Montgomery County Municipal Court records.
