Case File Tina Johnson Interview on 05/10107
statement:
THE FOLLOWING IS AN INTERVIEW OF TINA JOHNSON THAT TOOK PLACE IN FRONT OF HER
RESIDENCE IN TACOMA ON 05/10107 AT AROUND 1030 HOURS.
SDPA Hobbs and I next went to Tina Johnson's residence, located at 1414 S M ST in Tacoma.
We knocked on the door and it was answered by a woman who identified herself as Tina's mom. SDPA Hobbs
and I identified ourselves and asked to speak to Tina Johnson.
Johnson met us on the front porch. Her mother was present when we talked to her.
SDPA Hobbs went to the car and brought back some paperwork. He showed to Johnson photocopies of voter
registration applications with initials she identified as her own. She also identified initials belonging to Jayson
Woods.
At the beginning of our conversation Johnson denied any wrong-doing. She said that she wrote down what she
saw on a person's ID. She said she actually completed the applications on several occasions, but that the person
who was registering to vote would sign the application.
When confronted again, Johnson said, "At most, I maybe made up a few." She said she used a phonebook or the
newspaper to get names for the applications she made up.
SDPA Hobbs showed Johnson examples of signatures on the forged forms, and Johnson agreed that she had
signed those signatures, even going so far as to point out that the way she writes a "T" is unique.
When asked Johnson said that Jayson Woods did the same thing, but that she didn't know how many he made up.
When asked whose idea it was, she said that Clifton Mitchell told her and Woods to make up the names for the
applications. He told them to look in phonebooks and newspapers, and he told them to make up ID numbers and
Social Security Numbers.
Johnson said that Mitchell would often sit in the library and make up voter registration applications. She said he
used the library's phone books and newspapers. She said sometimes he just made them up out of his head, and
she said she did that sometimes, too. She also saw Woods do this.
Johnson, went confronted further, admitted that she made up most of the applications she submitted.
I showed Johnson DOL pictures of other suspects (minus the names), and she identified the following persons:
Debwa, Mitchell and Ryan Olson. She said she thought Olson was making up applications, but did not see him
doing it.
Johnson agreed to meet with SDPA Hobbs again at a later date.
She provided the following home number: 1 ....____..... 1 She said that she and her mom were moving from their
