Johnson charged as accessory after fact in triple murder case

From The Greene County Herald

A State Line man has been arrested in connection to the brutal triple 
homicide at a State Line convenience store on New Year's Day.

Drexler Johnson, 37, of 585 Woulard Bend River Road in State Line, was 
arrested early Thursday and charged with Accessory After the Fact in 
connection to the killings of store clerk Rhonda Denson, her boyfriend 
Lester Campbell and store customer Jason Thornton at Clark's convenience 
store around 6 a.m. on Jan. 1. The charge means police are accusing 
Drexler, a former Wayne County High School football star, of providing 
criminal assistance to the person who committed the murders.

It is not clear what type of role Johnson allegedly played before, 
during or after the horrific crime as no other details were released by 
Greene County Sheriff Ryan Walley.

"I am thankful for the community's assistance in providing information 
and ask that anyone with information to continue to contact our office," 
Sheriff Walley told the Herald in a written statement. "We are still 
actively investigating this case and this case is my number one 
priority, so I may provide justice to all the families affected by this 
tragedy.

"I would also like to thank all the agencies that have assisted my 
office in investigating this horrible crime."
