Johnson was a resident of Broken Arrow, where his business also operated. He was a running back for several teams during his five seasons in the NFL.

Ex-NFL running back LeShon Johnson has been found guilty on six felony counts stemming from charges related to the biggest federal dog-fighting case of all-time earlier this year in Oklahoma.

Federal investigators said that they had seized 190 pit-bull-type dogs from the former running back, who previously pleaded guilty to state dogfighting charges in 2004.
