Johnson was arrested roughly two weeks after he and two others allegedly donned masks and robbed a Rockland Trust bank in Vineyard Haven on Nov. 17 and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, prompting a manhunt by several law enforcement agencies.
All three suspects were armed with handguns, and the bank employees were tied up with duct tape during the robbery.
