Police said Johnson ran away last week.

According to police, Johnson is believed to be in danger because Barrientos has a “propensity for violence, a history of running from police and now has active felony warrants.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of either Johnson or Barrientos is asked to call Itasca police at 254-687-2020 or email police@itascapd.org.
