Johnson initially was charged with child endangerment after her sons, then ages 5 and 10, were found in the storage facility last April. Officers checked the facility after she was arrested for slashing her ex-boyfriend’s tires.
The Times of Trenton reports (https://bit.ly/1jE5ygh ) Johnson thanked the judge for giving her a second chance.
Johnson’s children remain in foster care. She gets supervised visits with them and says she plans to regain custody as soon as possible.
