Johnson's initial court appearance was Friday.

The other three — Todd Erickson, Brandon Turner and Herbert Williamson — have not posted bond and are all still in custody.

Arrest warrants were issued for all four men Tuesday and all subsequently turned themselves in to authorities.

According to the criminal complaint, Johnson worked as a font desk agent and was fired. Erickson, Turner and Williamson were also fired.

While TMJ4 doesn't normally publish mugshots without a conviction, we are choosing to do so in this instance because of the high-profile nature of the case. You can review TMJ4's mugshot policy here.

Following an initial court hearing a judge can set bond and if the defendant pays the bond, they are released from custody.
