Trooper Name(s):  H.E. Johnson Jr.
On September 19th I contacted Governor Purdue’s office to
file a complaint against Trooper H. E. Johnson.  I was
contacted later the same day by 1rst Sargeant Craft.  He
stated that he would be opening an investigation based on
the information I provided.  I received a letter later in
the week stating my complaint was received and an
investigation had been opened signed by Captain Ward. I
spoken with Lt. Holmes yesterday and set up a time for a
formal interview next week.  I am unsure what the proper
procedure is in investigating a complaint, however it seems
to me that two weeks after the initial complaint was filed
is rather long time. The statement was made to me yesterday
by one of the officers that he hoped that I got the outcome
I desired.  Trooper Johnson has hurt me deeply on a
personal level, as well as my 6 year old daughter.  That
does not change the facts that I stated to Internal
Affairs.  Trooper Johnson has violated numerous policies
set forth by the Highway Patrol.  In late May/Early June of
2011 Trooper Johnson was working either 2nd or 3rd shift
when he took me for a ride in his new unmarked Charger.  We
left around 12pm from 200 Cheshire Drive.  He drove to I-
40, he pulled over and began running a rear radar.  He
issued two tickets while I was in the vehicle.  One to a
gentleman in a tow-truck.  The other to an older gentleman
traveling with his wife, I believe in a white Toyota, he
was in his early 70’s I believe Mr. Johnson told me.  I was
also in the vehicle when he recieved a call for an
abandoned vehicle on Arthur Minnis Rd.  I believe the
address was 1910.  When arriving at that location a young
man came out of the woods, as well as a young female who
was believed to live at the residence.  He received a
message on his computer from another Trooper while I was in
the vehicle as well.  He received a call on the opposite
side of the County, shortly thereafter he dropped me off at
my residence. I was with him for at least a hour.  As I
previously stated to Sgt. Craft there was an intimate
exchange between us, we did not have intercourse in the
vehicle, nor commit any other sexual act.
I rode with him from my home to the Loop for lunch in late
August in his Patrol car while he was on duty.  I rode with
him from his residence in Burlington to mine, vise versa on
at least two other occasions.
I would think the above mentioned would have been enough to
take immediate action, as what I have stated can be easily
proven.
The following are known facts to me as well that are
violations of Patrol Policy.
Mr. Johnson primarily resided with me at 200 Cheshire Dr.
from August 2010 to August 2011.  
I personally have witnessed numerous racial jokes sent via
text to Mr. Johnson from other Troopers which he then
forwarded as well to fellow Troopers, and my youngest son.
Mr. Johnson stated to me and I witnessed telephone
conversations where he was given answers and confidential
information for his promotional exam in February 2011.  He
stated to me that one of his friends was on the advisory
board and told him the topic or question that he would have
to give a presentation on.
Mr. Johnson would regularly divulge information to me from
calls he had been on.  Including but not limited to a
picture of a older drunk man that he had taken into custody.
Although hard to prove Mr. Johnson and I did have numerous
sexual encounters while he was on duty.  Never in the
patrol car or at the patrol office.
The individuals I have spoken with at Internal Affairs have
been very courteous towards me, however I do not feel that
I am being taken seriously nor the complaint that I have
filed.
In light of Mr. Johnson’s behavior towards me I am very
upset to learn that an Investigation was previously opened
against Mr. Johnson for similar behavior in Alamance
County.  In speaking with reporters yesterday that covered
the case involving his misconduct it appears that Mr.
Johnson has been blatantly violating Patrol Policy since
2004, with no accountability for his actions.  I am sad
that anyone could justify or not hold a man of any caliber
accountable for behavior that dishonors his uniform and
brings shame to his community and family.  I am convinced
that had Mr. Johnson been properly investigated previously
I and my children would have been spared a great deal of
unnecessary pain.  Because of the uniform and the position
Mr. Johnson held I at one point had the highest regard and
respect for him.  When coloring community helpers recently
my daughter stated, but Mommy they aren’t nice, Gene makes
me sad and he makes us cry.  There are no words to describe
how Mr. Johnson has affected my life on a personal level.  
However as I stated earlier whether Im a scorned woman,
vindictive etc is irrelevant.  A Master Trooper with the
North Carolina Highway Patrol has violated policy and
endangered my life by stopping motorist while I was in the
vehicle, I had no idea when I got in the patrol car he
would stop a motorist.  As stated previously I have been
treated with respect and kindness by Internal Affairs thus
far, which is greatly appreciated.  I do feel strongly that
in light of my history with Mr. Johnson the facts of the
complaint are not being taken as seriously as if presented
to the Highway Patrol from another source.
