It happened during a family argument, a court heard
Johnson then grabbed the gun and aimed it at the victim, before eventually leaving the property. He was later arrested and told police that he thought the victim was going to strike him first.
Johnson waved the gun about during the fight on Elford Place West. He was jailed for 75 weeks at Leeds Crown Court. He admitted possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear and causing actual bodily harm , along with breach of a community order. He also admitted ABH from a previous incident on November 24, 2021 when he attacked a man in his own home.
The pair had been taking drugs at the property on Bayswater Mount in Harehills in the early hours when they got into an argument. The victim suffered a swelling to his eye and needed hospital treatment. Johnson provided a basis of plea, that it was “excessive self defence” which was accepted by the Crown.
The court was told that Johnson has 28 previous convictions from 39 offences. Mitigating, Ian Hudson said Johnson, of no fixed address, had been in custody since his arrest nine months ago. He said he had used his time “wisely” by completing educational courses.
