JUDGE'S SON FACES CHARGES

Great Falls, Mont. _ Prosecutors accused the son of District Judge Marge 
Johnson on Monday of involvement in selling small amounts of cocaine to an 
undercover agent and an informant.

The felonies charge Kirk Steven Johnson, 18, with selling half a gram of 
the drug to an informant in September 1999 for $50 in a grocery store 
parking lot, and accountability to the sale of an unspecified small amount 
to an undercover agent in February outside his and his mother's Great Falls 
home.

Shella Clemons, 20, also is charged with accountability in the February sale.

Judge Johnson declined to comment when contacted Monday.

She is running for re-election Nov. 7 against Cascade County Chief Deputy 
Attorney Julie Macek.
