First, note that the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s website details a misdemeanor arrest for one Artis Lejune Johnson, 27, last year with the same home address as that recorded for Gwendolyn Brown-Johnson, 57, and her husband, Artis Johnson, 64, for the ALE moonshine arrests on Friday.

Also, this WSOC story from last year indicates the community center operated by the Johnsons’ was set up, in part, with city of Charlotte funding. In addition, county property records indicate that Parks Helms acted as trustee on several transactions between the Parkview foundation operated by Mrs. Johnson and the city.
