Willie Johnson was arrested for stealing toilet paper twice from a Walgreens store in Noe Valley. After his first arrest in January, he was charged with petty theft and had his felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. However, in his subsequent April arrest, he faced felony charges for organized retail theft. Despite a court order to stay away from the store, he returned to steal and now remains in custody without bail due to his multiple offenses, which have raised serious public safety concerns. Johnson is also expected to undergo treatment for his issues soon.
Johnson's return to the Walgreens despite a stay away order posed a 'public safety concern,' highlighting repeated offenses that have frustrated the court.
Judge Sandoval noted Johnson's alleged thefts have become 'for lack of a better word, a nuisance' to the court, prompting the decision to keep him in custody.
