Dustin Johnson was involved in a murder case

When he was 16, according to a Golf.com report from 2011, Johnson was coerced by a friend’s older brother into buying bullets for a gun that had been stolen in a robbery. That man later used it in a murder and while Johnson was pardoned, the incident still left an imprint.

Six months after he turned sixteen, things got really dark. Steve Gillian, the older brother of Johnson’s friend Clint, put together a gang of boys to rob a local house. The details of the heist are available online in the court docket for the South Carolina judicial department, and they make for rough reading.

Johnson had previously pawned stolen watches for Gillian, but this would be a new level of crime. It went off, and among the items the group stole was a .38 revolver. When they met Gillian at a gas station afterward, he yelled at them for not stealing anything more valuable. Gillian then asked Johnson to buy bullets for the gun, which Johnson did, under duress, at a Walmart. The next night, Gillian attacked a group of high school kids in their house for evicting his friend from their party. He broke one’s nose with a headbutt, and assaulted several others.

When confronted by his friend Jason Ward—“quit picking on these little high school kids”—he became enraged, and Ward had to punch him and pin him to the ground in order to protect himself. When he finally let his friend up, they left the house together. Later that night, Gillian used the gun Johnson had helped rob, and the bullets from Walmart, to shoot and kill Ward.
