As part of a deal made with federal prosecutors, former Prince George’s County executive Jack Johnson has pled guilty to one count of extortion and one count of evidence tampering. Johnson entered the pleas this afternoon inside U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.

Johnson was arrested in November and was initially facing eight charges, including extortion, bribery, witness and evidence tampering and conspiracy. Johnson had previously pled not guilty on all counts; with today’s plea, six of those charges will be dropped. Sentencing has not yet been determined.
