Albuquerque Man Pleads Guilty to Methamphetamine Trafficking Charge

ALBUQUERQUE – Davon Johnson, 44, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, pleaded guilty today in federal court to a methamphetamine trafficking charge.

Johnson was arrested on July 6, 2016, on an indictment charging him with distribution of MDMA on June 9, 2016, in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. During today’s proceedings, Johnson pleaded guilty to a felony information charging him with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

In entering the guilty plea, Johnson admitted that on June 9, 2016, he sold approximately 100 pills containing methamphetamine to another individual in exchange for money.
