TULSA, Okla. — On the afternoon of Feb. 23, Tulsa police responded to a call at the University of Tulsa after an employee of Sodexo at an on-campus restaurant sent a photo to the staff.

Police said the photo was from Michael Johnson, holding a rifle and stating he was going to come to the Student Union and harm the staff.

Officers found out where Johnson lived and set up surveillance around the area, while obtaining a search warrant for his home because of the severe nature of the threats he made.

Hours later, officers executed the search warrant, calling him on his phone and asking him and his friend Marshon Duckett, to walk out of the home without weapons, where he was arrested.

During the search, officers found two AR-15s and a Glock 23, including a high-capacity drum for the Glock.

Johnson was booked into David L. Moss Threatening a Violent Act, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (Under 21), and Duckett was booked into David L. Moss for Possession of a Firearm after Adjudication.
