by

Wondering what led to Johnny’s apprehension in Days of Our Lives? The recent events suggest that Johnny was there when EJ got shot. Despite having a heated argument with his father and brandishing a gun towards him, he admitted to not firing the shot and thought someone else was responsible for it. Strangely enough, even though he claimed innocence, why were the authorities still taking him away to jail?

Here are all the details.

Why Days of Our Lives’ Johnny gets arrested

It turned out that Johnny was apprehended because of his connection to EJ’s gun violence incident. Evidence showed that Roman’s firearm was located near the mansion, with a single bullet missing. However, when questioned, Johnny admitted to taking the gun but claimed he didn’t shoot it. This revelation made Marlena and Roman suspect that another person could have been responsible for shooting EJ.

In the most recent plot development, Rafe tells Gabi that Johnny has claimed he wasn’t part of EJ’s shooting. However, Gabi finds it hard to trust Johnny and thinks the authorities would also doubt his confession. Additionally, Rafe feels that if Johnny surrenders, it will provide an opportunity for a fair trial that could potentially clear his name. Despite wanting Rafe’s plan to succeed, Gabi worries that EJ might retaliate against her for imprisoning his son.

In Horton Town Square, EJ implores Jada not to take his son into custody, but she persists and starts reciting Johnny’s rights before handcuffing him. Chanel shows up and queries Johnny about the alleged crime, to which he insists his innocence. EJ promptly advises Johnny to keep quiet and warns Jada. He then confesses that he saw Johnny with a gun, but later claims his son gave it to him. However, Jada disregards his account and suggests he finds a competent lawyer as she leads Johnny away.

Later on, Chanel requests EJ to recap the sequence of incidents from the night of his shooting. Initially, EJ thought Johnny was behind the shooting, but later he started to trust his son’s assertions. He then accused Rafe of having his son arrested. However, once Chanel reveals her backing for Johnny, she discovers that Paulina was responsible for his arrest.

Additionally, Chanel asks the officers for some private time with Johnny in the interrogation room. She wants to know why he didn’t tell her about having the gun earlier. He explains that he felt ashamed and thought his confession would result in a conviction for a murder he didn’t commit. She sympathizes with him, stating it wasn’t his fault, and then shockingly reveals, “Mama was the one who betrayed us.
