According to Sheriff Steve Prator, Derrick Johnson, 24, of Greenwood, Louisiana, is the owner of a pair of dogs that mauled a neighbor's dog the same day.

Police records indicate that just before 8:30 pm on April 15, a Greenwood resident reported that two dogs had viciously killed their dog and dragged the lifeless animal to another home in the 4800 block of Fawn Lane.

As Caddo Deputies were on the scene, they made contact with the owner of the home where the dogs had gone. Derrick Johnson was exiting his vehicle as deputies approached and they smelled a very strong odor of marijuana and saw a gun in Johnson's car.

Deputies investigated and discovered that Johnson was a convicted felon. After obtaining a warrant, they searched his home where they found two rifles, two pistols, and thirteen large bags of marijuana, weighing approximately 13.642 pounds, with a street value of approximately $61,879.
