Heading: Johnson’s prior drug activity

Text: Two other individuals testified about defendant Johnson’s drug activity prior 5 to the charged cocaine conspiracy. Alfred Wheeler testified that he had twice purchased marijuana from defendant Johnson; that Johnson had offered to sell him cocaine; and that he had often seen Johnson in Ocala in the company of Thomas, a known drug dealer. Likewise, Navarus Bryant, an Ocala drug dealer, testified that he knew defendant Johnson by the name “Bede”; that he once saw Johnson sell nine ounces of cocaine to an individual at a gym in Ocala; and that he once observed a mutual friend named Scooter sell Johnson nine ounces of cocaine at the Big Apple. According to Bryant, when Scooter sold defendant Johnson cocaine, Johnson stated that he could also obtain cocaine from Thomas, even though Thomas did not have any to sell to Johnson at that moment.
