WINONA, Minn. — Police know Brently Steven Johson well from dozens of encounters around town. It did not look right that the perennially homeless Johnson was pedaling a fancy $1,700 bicycle loaded with features. Too, the bike matched the description of a bike for which the officer had taken a theft report the day before. The police stop was about 9 a.m. at Levee Park. Johnson was booked for receiving stolen property and escorted to a familiar place — a jail cell. The bike was returned to its rightful owner.
Johnson. A pedaling adventure cut short.
