Johnstone faces four felony charges of willfully torturing, maiming, or mutilating animals.
On April 1, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrested Johnstone following a month-long animal cruelty investigation at Working Dogs of Nevada, a rescue facility.
Police obtained videos showing Johnstone using excessive shock collars on dogs, including young puppies, stepping on their leashes to violently yank their heads to the ground, and swinging the dogs around in mid-air by their leashes.
A total of 35 dogs were seized from the facility during the investigation.
The same day Johnstone was booked into the Clark County Detention Center, ICE issued a detainer.
