Florida CB Dijon Johnson won't face prosecution following arrest on felony gun and drug charges
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Florida cornerback Dijon Johnson won't face prosecution for two felony charges that followed a traffic stop in May, his attorney said Monday. Attorney Tim Taylor said the state attorney's office has filed paperwork confirming 'no further action' in the case. 'We have worked closely with prosecutors on this for the past few months and are pleased with their diligence and professionalism,' Taylor said. 'Dijon and his family are happy to have this matter behind them. Dijon is focused on his academic and football commitments and is excited for the start of the football season.' The Gators open fall camp Wednesday. Police in Tampa charged Johnson with two felonies, including possession of a firearm, and two misdemeanors in May. Officers said they pulled him over for running a stop sign and detected a 'strong odor of burned marijuana.' They said Johnson was argumentative during the traffic stop and refused to exit the gray Dodge Challenger, according to the criminal report filed in Hillsborough County. Johnson was removed from the car and placed into custody. A vehicle search found marijuana and 8 grams of synthetic marijuana inside a backpack. A black Glock 19 loaded with 17 rounds in a magazine also was found in the car, according to the report. Johnson entered written pleas of not guilty to all charges, according to court documents. A 6-foot-1, 196-pound junior from Tampa, Johnson recorded 27 tackles and two pass breakups last season. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

Florida point guard Boogie Fland sidelined for summer workouts following sports hernia surgery
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida point guard Boogie Fland is recovering from sports hernia surgery, and coach Todd Golden expects the Arkansas transfer to be full speed by the time fall camp begins in September. Speaking at a booster event Thursday evening, Golden said Fland had surgery July 3 and will be sidelined up to six weeks. He has missed the last three weeks of summer workouts. 'He'll be back when school starts,' Golden said. 'He could have played through it, but it made more sense to get it taken care of so he didn't have to worry about it during the season.' The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Fland averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 21 games with the Razorbacks last season. The freshman from New York averaged nearly 32 minutes a game despite missing time with a right thumb injury that required surgery. He returned for three postseason games before entering the NBA draft. He withdrew his name from consideration before visiting Gainesville and signing with the defending national champions in May. Fland joined Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee and Ohio University transfer AJ Brown in Golden's revamped backcourt. The trio is expected to replace Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard. The Gators also lost fellow guard Denzel Aberdeen to Kentucky. With Golden at the helm for his third season in Gainesville, the Gators finished 36-4 and beat Houston to clinch the program's third national title. They won their final 12 games, including four in the NCAA Tournament in come-from-behind fashion. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
