Arrest: Drug trafficking suspect 4/17/19

On 4/17/19, members of our Eastside Crime Suppression Team and other units assisted Daytona Beach PD in apprehending a suspect who had open warrants for charges including trafficking in heroin and fentanyl and was considered armed and dangerous. Bijan Johnson drove recklessly at high speeds on I-95 and through the Ormond Beach area as Air One monitored his location from overhead. He eventually drove behind a business complex on Division Avenue and went into an area of heavy brush. Johnson was located and apprehended by K-9 Lasco after a search through the woods. Inside Johnson's vehicle, deputies found a loaded Glock 9mm handgun, a quarter pound of methamphetamine, about $5,600 cash and small amounts of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Johnson was treated for a K-9 bite and eventually transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail on his warrants and several new charges, with a total bond of well over $1 million.
