Minnesota police officer gets probation for harassing former girlfriend

Duluth, Minnesota, police officer Craig Johnson has been sentenced to

one year of supervised probation, ordered to abstain from alcohol, and

attend panel discussions on how victims are affected by violence and

domestic abuse, after being convicted last month of harassing his

former girlfriend.

Johnson, a Duluth officer for over 20 years, was accused of making 119

obscene or harassing phone calls during a five-week period last year.

31 of those calls occurred while he was on duty and 15 of them were

made from a city of Duluth cell phone.

He could have faced 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000. (Duluth News
