OCEANA – On April 21, 2025, a Wyoming County man was arrested on Kopperston Road in Oceana for a violent domestic assault and drug-related charges.
Trooper N.T. Warden responded to a 911 call around 10:30 p.m. reporting an active domestic disturbance with possible weapons. Trooper Warden discovered the victim covered in blood with visible swelling on her face and neck. The victim stated that the accused, Rambo Johnson, fled the scene on foot.
Following a search of the area and a tip from a passerby, Trooper Warden discovered Johnson hiding inside a nearby trailer. With the homeowner’s permission, the trooper entered and discovered Johnson hidden in a back bedroom. Johnson resisted arrest, but was eventually subdued and handcuffed.
Johnson was arrested with $88 in cash, a clear bag containing a white powder suspected to be fentanyl, a piece of foil with burnt crystal residue thought to be methamphetamine, and a pocketknife.
According to the victim’s statement, Johnson assaulted her while she was sleeping, beating and choking her until she was nearly unconscious.
She also reported that Johnson brandished a knife and threatened her life, saying, “Tonight is the night you die, bitch.” Johnson also allegedly dumped her purse and stole around $100, which was later recovered and returned by law enforcement.
Trooper Warden requested warrants for Johnson on several charges, including strangulation, robbery, brandishing a deadly weapon, domestic battery, possession of methamphetamine, possession of fentanyl, and obstructing law enforcement.
All charges stem from crimes committed in Wyoming County, West Virginia.
