At approximately 11:34 a.m. on February 14, officers assisted a Public Service Aid with a parking violation involving a vehicle displaying fraudulent tags and a concealed Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). During the course of the investigation, a loaded firearm with an extended magazine was recovered on the driver’s floorboard of the vehicle. As officers secured the firearm and continued their investigation, the female suspect approached and inquired about the vehicle being towed and identified herself as the operator. The vehicle and firearm were both determined to be reported stolen out of Maryland. As officers attempted to take the suspect into custody, she attempted to flee, resisted arrest, and assaulted an officer by striking him in the face. During an inventory search of the vehicle, multiple fraudulent ID’s, numerous identification cards belonging to others, fraudulent credit cards and checks, additional stolen property and suspected narcotics were recovered. Gianni Johnson, 27, of Temple Hills, MD, was arrested and charged with: three counts Possession of Fake Identification, Obstruction of Justice, Possession of Stolen Goods, Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Altered VIN, Possession of a Firearm while in Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Schedule I/II Substance, Assault on Police, and Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. She was also determined to be wanted out of Prince George’s County, Maryland. She was held without bond in the Arlington County Detention Facility.
