A Texas man out on probation is back behind bars after allegedly attacking several women in the Montrose area.
According to FOX Houston, Troy Johnson faces two counts of evading arrest, one count of threatening robbery, and one count of attempted robbery. Court documents obtained by the outlet indicated that Johnson is accused of assaulting four women in the Montrose area between February 16 and February 19.
He allegedly slapped one woman and punched another in the back of the head on different occasions.
Police launched the investigation after social media posts surfaced, showing photos and videos of Johnson allegedly assaulting women.
In one video, Johnson followed a woman walking her dog, yelling at her and demanding money.
Click2Houston reports that his criminal history dates back to 2019, when he faced accusations of assaulting a woman at a restaurant.
The court dismissed the case in October 2021.
In April 2022, Johnson was arrested for attempting to assault a man with a knife. He took a plea deal in January 2023, receiving five years of deferred adjudication, or probation.
In July 2023, a woman accused Johnson of trying to steal her car and striking her with the vehicle door. A Harris County grand jury indicted him for robbery in March 2024.
He accepted a plea deal that reduced the charge to assault, resulting in a 300-day sentence in Harris County Jail.
“Pathetic. Why bother having probation conditions when you can violate them at will including multiple convictions on probation and still remain on probation?” Houston Crime Stoppers director, Andy Kahan, told CrimeOnline.
Officials have filed five motions to revoke his adjudication. If a judge revokes it, Johnson could receive a prison sentence for the 2023 charge.
He’s currently behind bars at the Harris County Jail. Check back for updates.
