ATLANTA, GA (WAFB) - A convicted killer who was accidentally released from prison following miscommunication and missing paperwork on the part of the Louisiana Department of Correction was found in Atlanta early Friday morning. The US Marshals Service arrested Benjuiel Johnson, 32, just after midnight at a motel in an Atlanta suburb. Officials said additional details will be released later in the morning. Johnson was wanted by law enforcement after being mistakenly released on September 23 from the Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, Louisiana. He was serving a 40-year sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. According to officials with the Department of Corrections, early indications show Johnson was getting released from Dixon on good behavior for prior charges. When his name was run in the system, the manslaughter conviction did not appear, so he was let go. Johnson, however, had an outstanding charge for battery of a correctional officer. Read More. |
