Michigan Church Director Faces Multiple Felony Charges

Will Johnson, a former worship pastor at 2|42 Community Church in Brighton, Michigan, was arrested after confessing to placing a hidden camera in a unisex bathroom at the church. The camera was discovered by a staff member, leading to Johnson's immediate termination and subsequent arrest by the Livingston County Sheriff's Office. Johnson admitted to using the camera intermittently over the past two years to target specific church employees. He faces multiple charges, including tampering with evidence, surveilling an unclothed person, and using a computer to commit a crime, with potential prison sentences ranging from two to four years. The church has expressed deep shock and sadness over the incident and is cooperating fully with the investigation, hiring a third-party investigator to ensure no additional cameras are present. Johnson's bond is set at $250,000, and his next court hearing is scheduled for September 24.
