Texas Court Dismisses Case Against ‘Liver King’ Over Alleged Threats to Joe Rogan

A court representative confirmed the charges were dropped following a June arrest stemming from videos that prompted a police response.

Overview

  • Travis County criminal court records show the charges were dismissed on Nov. 13, with no reason provided by officials.
  • Johnson was arrested in June on a misdemeanor terroristic-threat charge after posting videos challenging Rogan and traveling to Austin.
  • Rogan’s security team alerted police to escalating posts, and Rogan later filed a report after interpreting the conduct as threatening.
  • Johnson was released on a $20,000 bond with an order to stay at least 200 feet from Rogan, his family, home, and businesses, with no update on whether that order remains in effect.
  • Police noted signs of a possible mental-health episode in Johnson’s videos, and neither party has publicly commented since the dismissal.
