Neighbors at a Hollywood high-rise were concerned about a new resident. He had been bragging about an arsenal of weapons and saying the CIA was watching him.
Rifles belonging to the man were loaded with ammunition and pointed out his newly rented 18th-floor Hollywood apartment, which had panoramic views of a busy street and a public park.
Residents called police to say that Braxton Kyle Johnson had been making bizarre threats against them and security staff at the Lumina Hollywood, a luxury apartment complex in the 1500 block of Gordon Street near Sunset Boulevard.“The suspect was located on the 18th floor of an apartment building with large windows with a view, with a non-obstructed view of a public park, downstairs, and some of the rifles were pointed outside of the windows,” LAPD Lt. Leon Tsap said.
Johnson, 25, was arrested late Tuesday on suspicion of making criminal threats against neighbors and staff at the Lumina Hollywood. Based on that information, detectives from the Hollywood Division got an arrest warrant for Johnson and a search warrant for his apartment. There, they found seven guns — one shotgun, two assault rifles, one long rifle and three handguns — as well as two bulletproof vests and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
