Johnson sentenced to 120 days in jail
By Larry Mayer


SKOKIE, Ill. – Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson on Thursday was sentenced to 120 days in jail by Judge John J. Moran for a probation violation stemming from a 2005 gun charge.

Johnson was charged Dec. 14 with six misdemeanor counts of possession of a firearm without a Firearm Owner’s Identification card after Gurnee police served a search warrant on his home.

The 25-year-old was on probation at the time after he had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge that was filed after a nightclub valet alerted police about seeing a gun in Johnson’s car.

Heck it's not his first offense and he was on probaton to boot. I think it's a lenient sentence.

I know people that have violated parole and have had nothing but a slap on the wrist, they are making an example of him. Just watch all those players from the Bengals are all going to get a lot less than this.

But don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with them making an example of high profile people. But at the same time they better do it across the board also.

I don't know if you looked at the article again but they updated it.

I don't think there will be an appeal at all considering he would be stupid not to be on his best behavior.

Usually they start it right away and I think that is the case since he was immediately taken into custody.
