Everything you need to know about Arne Johnson
Arne Cheyenne Johnson was charged with the murder of his landlord, 40-year-old Alan Bono (renamed Bruno in the film), while they were fighting over a relative when he was 19 years old. It all started in the 1980s in Brookfield, Connecticut, when Arne’s girlfriend’s younger brother, David Glatzel, started having terrifying images and hallucinations. After he began growling and ranting about death and murder, he was subjected to a few exorcisms, some of which Arne witnessed. Arne supposedly sacrificed himself at one of these rituals by encouraging the demon to take up residence in him instead of David, which it apparently did.

Arne called in ill to his job at Wright Tree Service on February 16, 1981, and instead went to Debbie Glatzel’s workplace with his sister Wanda and Debbie’s 9-year-old cousin Mary. He was later imprisoned but claimed his innocence due to demonic possession. The Glatzel family tried to shield the boy during his murder trial by portraying a vivid picture of the gloomy events in both David and Arne’s lives. It was the first time in the United States that the defense has made such claims. Arne was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 10-20 years in jail because none of it could be proven and hence was infeasible.

Is Arne Johnson alive or dead? What has happened to him?
On November 24, 1981, Arne Cheyenne Johnson was found guilty. Despite this, he was granted early release after only five years in prison due to his good behavior behind bars, and he was let free in January 1986. However, he married Debbie Glatzel in a small jail ceremony in January 1984, during this time period. She had believed in his demonic possessions after all. Debbie never minded standing by her beau because she had observed everything firsthand, and they stayed happily married until the awful day she died. Having said that, not much about Arne’s life has been known since his release.
All we know is that he worked as a gardener and had a loving, familial environment to assist him in getting over the sad periods that followed his sudden freedom, according to Lorraine Warren. Furthermore, he and Debbie were both heavily involved in the production of ‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,’ according to reports. “Possession isn’t something that lasts 24 hours a day,” Ed Warren observed. ′′It arrives and departs fast. Arne has a good understanding of what occurred to him. He now knows how to avoid trouble if it arises, and he will never again be foolish enough to face the devil.′′ In the UK, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is now available on Sky Cinema and NOW.
