By: Nick Marcinko -- July 28, 2025 In early May, Florida Gators’ cornerback Dijon Johnson was arrested on multiple charges in his hometown of Tampa, Florida, according to Hillsborough Country Sherrif’s office. Tampa police department arrested Johnson at 11:20 p.m. eastern on May 2nd with four charges including resisting officer without violence (misdemeanor), possession of cannabis less than 20 grams (misdemeanor), possession of controlled substance (third degree felony), and possession of firearm during commission of felony (second degree felony). Johnson’s attorney, Timothy Taylor, tells Gator Country that all four charges have been dropped. “No charges will be filed against Dijon Johnson for a traffic stop on May 2, 2025. The State Attorney’s Office filed paperwork confirming that they will take no further action regarding this incident. We have worked closely with prosecutors on this for the past few months and are pleased with their diligence and professionalism. Dijon and his family are happy to have this matter behind them. Dijon is focused on his academic and football commitments and is excited for the start of the football season,” Taylor wrote in his statement.
Even though it appears that he was stopped for DWB, I hope he really does refocus his attention to “academics and football commitments” and keeps away from opportunities and influences that can lead to worse outcomes for him.
