Westland woman arraigned after gun shot from car

A Westland woman was arrested after she allegedly shot at another car while riding as a passenger in a vehicle.

Victoria Johnson was arrested and arraigned on charges of discharging a firearm from a vehicle and carrying a concealed weapon (handgun). She faces up to 15 years in prison for the two felony charges.

According to the Westland Police Department, Johnson was involved in a reckless driving incident Sunday, Aug. 8, with another vehicle in the area of Cherry Hill and Merriman roads.

Johnson, 26, is alleged to have been involved in an altercation with several women while at the Mobil Gas Station on the corner of the intersection. All the parties fled the area in separate vehicles and Johnson fired about four or five shots in the air from the moving vehicle she was a passenger in, police say.

Officers located the car Johnson was riding in near Cherry Hill and Henry Ruff. After a traffic stop, officers found a 9 mm handgun in her purse and several live 9 mm rounds and a spent shell casing on the front passenger seat floor.

Johnson was arraigned Monday in the 18th District Court in Westland, where bond was set at $25,000 or 10 percent cash surety. She is scheduled for an exam date before Judge Sandra Ference Cicirelli at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 27.
