Johnson was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery in L.A. on February 7, 2000 … just before he began playing football for Oregon State University.

Sources close to the case tell us the victim was his GF at the time … and she told police the football star had slapped her in the face after he accused her of cheating on him.

According to court records, Johnson — 22 years old at the time — pled no contest … and the court found him guilty of domestic battery.
