Welcome Back Johnson: New Mexico forward Aaron Johnson, who is sitting out this season after transferring from Penn State, is back on the team after coach Rich McKay had dismissed him for his role in a bar fight. McKay said Johnson won’t cause any more trouble after he fought four police officers during a September altercation outside a bar. He said he had defended a woman who was attacked by another man. When security officers pepper sprayed Johnson, he stumbled out of the bar and couldn’t see. Four police officers grabbed him, and Johnson fought back because he thought the fight had continued outside. A judge dismissed the charges against Johnson and gave him almost a year’s worth of probation and ordered him to avoid bars and liquor. At Penn State, Johnson led the Big Ten with 9.9 rebounds per game. [11/27/05]
