Smith then identified Hernandez Govan as the person who set up the deal. Govan is set to be back in court next week on the same charges Smith is facing.

November 22 is his last day for any guilty plea. After that, it will be time for trial, which is set for March 10.

Jermarcus Johnson, who is Justin Johnson's half-brother, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact. He is also set to be in court next week.
