Chandler Alan Johnson, 23, of Alexandria was booked Tuesday, accused of producing, manufacturing and distributing marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids or counterfeit substances.

Johnson has been out of the public eye since February 2019, when he was charged with first-degree rape.

He had turned himself in then after learning he was sought for alleged involvement with a person under 13.

After that, his case left the public’s attention.

According to records, he posted $250,000 bail the same day and was released.

Johnson was rearrested on May 1, 2019, charged with pornography involving juvenile under 13 and offender over 17.

That was apparently an amended charge to the earlier rape accusation. In October 2019 Johnson was again charged, posting total bail of $50,000.

Penalty for conviction on the latter charge is 5 to 40 years imprisonment, with court’s discretion to double the term.

Information regarding the 2019 case status is not available through booking records.
