6/18/14 - A Fenton man facing serious felony charges after shooting his neighbor will undergo psychological testing. 46-year-old Gregory Thomas Johnson of Fenton is charged with three felonies related to the shooting of his neighbor May 26th; assault with intent to murder, which carries a possible life sentence, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and a separate felony firearm count. Recently he was ordered to undergo a competency and criminal responsibility exam to determine his mental status at the time of the shooting and whether he can meaningfully assist in his own defense. Fenton Police say an ongoing disagreement between the two neighbors culminated with Johnson shooting the 43-year-old victim in the buttocks with a .38 semi-automatic pistol. A review hearing will be held in August to determine the status of Johnsonâs case. (JK)
