What did Roger Stone's arrest look like? Ask his neighbor, former NFL player Chad Johnson

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. _ Ochocinco has the 411 when it comes to Roger Stone's arrest in Fort Lauderdale.

Chad Johnson, the colorful former NFL wide receiver who played for the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals, is apparently neighbors with Stone and witnessed the longtime associate of President Donald Trump being apprehended before dawn Friday.

"FBI arrested my neighbor Roger before my morning jog," Johnson tweeted. "I've only seen s_like that in movies, crazy to start to my Friday."

Stone lives on the upscale finger islands off Las Olas Boulevard.

Stone was arrested in the special counsel's Russia investigation and was charged with lying to Congress and obstructing the probe. He appeared in shackles in federal court in Fort Lauderdale later Friday morning.

We'll have to wait to see if Johnson _ a Miami native who famously changed his last name to Ochocino during his career to match his No. 85 jersey _ eventually gets called as a character witness.
