The Shreveport Police Department has taken a local woman into custody following a violent April disturbance at C&C Grocery. The incident, which involved both mace and a firearm, ended after a store employee managed to disarm the suspect during a heated confrontation.
Escalation and Assault at C&C Grocery
According to investigators, Sherdaricka Johnson arrived at the business with the intent to confront an ex-boyfriend. When she discovered he was not on the premises, she reportedly turned her aggression toward a store employee who asked her to leave the property.
The situation turned physical when Johnson allegedly sprayed the employee with mace. She then produced a firearm and threatened to shoot the victim in the face. Witness statements and store surveillance footage have since corroborated these events.
Suspect Flees After Being Disarmed
In a dramatic turn, the store employee was able to wrestle the weapon away from Johnson, preventing any shots from being fired. Johnson fled the scene shortly after the struggle.
In a surprising twist, Johnson later contacted police to report her firearm as stolen. However, officers noted that she was uncooperative during that initial contact. Following a brief investigation, officers located and arrested Johnson the following day without further incident.
Charges Filed and Safety Outcomes
Police confirmed that Johnson had been previously banned from the C&C Grocery property. She now faces the following charges:
- One count of Aggravated Assault with a Firearm
- One count of Simple Battery
- One count of Entering and Remaining After Being Forbidden
The individual who disarmed Johnson will not face any charges, as investigators determined he acted in self-defense against an immediate threat.
