FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A federal jury convicted a 23-year-old man on an obscure weapons charge yesterday, apparently unaware that 10 years ago he and another boy killed four classmates and a teacher in a schoolyard ambush. Mitchell Johnson faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced in the next 45 days on a count of possessing a firearm while being a drug user. Through his attorney, Johnson declined to comment yesterday. Johnson was arrested on New Year’s Day 2007 after police stopped his van and said they found a bag of marijuana in his pocket and a 9-mm pistol and a 20-gauge shotgun in two bags. Police said they stopped the van after getting an anonymous tip about drugs in the vehicle.
