NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man who claimed self-defense for a May shooting outside a WeGo bus station has been charged by a federal grand jury on a related offense.
Kenneth Dewayne Johnson, 31, of Nashville, was indicted for the unlawful possession of ammunition related to the May 16 shooting. Previously, he was charged by federal criminal complaint, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
According to the indictment, a Metro Nashville police officer was in the area of the downtown bus station when the shooting occurred and soon saw a man holding a pistol and running away from the area. The man, later identified as Johnson, threw the pistol to the ground after being chased by the officer and was shortly arrested.
Officers recovered the pistol, which was loaded with five rounds of ammunition, and a high-capacity magazine, which contained 49 rounds, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a release.
The case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as well as the Metro Nashville Police Department.
