An Alexander County man is back in custody.

Jody Gene Johnson, age 38, of Fairgrounds RD., Taylorsville, was detained Thursday morning by the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office. He was served a warrant from Catawba County following a grand jury indictment for felony larceny and felony possession of stolen goods. Johnson is being held in the Alexander County Jail.

Previous charges still pending in Alexander County include felony possession of schedule II control substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. Those charges were filed by the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office in May.

Taylorsville Police charged Johnson with larceny and driving with license revoked in February.
