Furthermore, something I didn't know is that he was involved in stealing a handgun and buying ammunition for it at Wal-Mart as a teen. Said gun was used in an execution style murder a few days later. Johnson's prints were on the gun, but in exchange for his testimony, all charges against him were dropped and the accused (friend's brother) was convicted and is serving life.
Also, apparently he was slinging blow in high school.
Yikes.

DJ has never been the Golden Child. His rep preceded him.
As for this latest turn, I doubt there are any surprises. John Daly is about to roll over the senior tour, and there will be a bad boy vacuum. DJ fills the bill. Too bad, though... I kind of like him.
