– Officials said a 66-year-old man has pleaded guilty to operating an illegal charter cruise business in Galveston.

Johnson allegedly lied to authorities and claimed that he did have passengers who paid to be on his ship but then instructed them, one of whom was a police officer, to inform officials that they had not paid. Johnson also admitted that he had engaged in another scheme where he took money from a couple for a trip that never happened. The couple reportedly paid him $20,000 to transport them on the MV SPANISH PRINCESS to Honduras, where they were going to live however the trip never happened, and Johnson only returned $1,000 of their money.
