He will report back to Windsor Superior Court on Friday for a bail hearing, where he may be held in custody until sentencing. Johnson is also undergoing a civil lawsuit for the assault as well.

Chris Thompson at the Windsor Star followed up with the news that the New Jersey Devils organization has initiated the process to terminate his contract.
