39-year-old Sparkle Johnson was caught after slashing her daughter’s boyfriend’s tires at their Knollcrest Apartment near Creekwood Drive on July 2nd. On June 7th, officers responded to a domestic disturbance. Zaria Johnson called the police regarding her mother, Sparkle Johnson, her aunt, Stephanie Jones, and her god sister, Alaka Young, trying to get into her apartment. When officers arrived, they noticed Zaria and her boyfriend, Ladonte Harney, standing beside his vehicle before they spoke with Zaria. Zaria informed officers that on the morning of June 6th, Stephanie, Sparkle, and Alaka attempted to enter her apartment and repeatedly knocked on the door. However, the trio got upset when Zaria refused to open the door, so they began spam-calling and texting Zaria and Ladonte. During the phone calls, the trio Threatened Zaria and Ladonte, telling them they were going to send people to beat them up and mentioning they were going to slice Ladonte’s tires to his vehicle. Zaria and Ladonte proceeded to block their phone numbers but continued to text and call from the generated numbers. One of the texts Zaria and Ladonte received was their social security numbers. Later that night, Ladonte noticed that his rear left side tire slashed, and two dents were in the driver-side door. Officers proceeded to help Zaria and Ladonte secure an order of protection for harassment, and they chose to prosecute them for vandalism. A warrant was issued, and Sparkle Johnson was taken into custody for vandalism on June 2nd.
Sparkle Shenea Johnson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 2nd, charged with vandalism. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,000.
