That Disease Sure Comes in Handy –
June 13, 2018 – A man who pleaded no contest in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian in a North Hills crosswalk and an ensuing police pursuit that ended in Pacific Palisades was ordered Wednesday to complete a minimum six-month live-in drug treatment program and three years on probation. Mark Christian Johnson, 56, has already served a year in county jail following his no contest plea in April 2017 to one felony count each of hit-and-run driving resulting in death and fleeing a pursuing police officer’s motor vehicle while driving recklessly, along with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence.
