Chad Ochocinco to Change Last Name Back to Johnson

Receiver claims he has a warrant out for his arrest under Ochocinco name.

After spending the last year doing absolutely nothing but sitting on the bench for the New England Patriots, it seems like Chad Ochocinco is looking for some attention with his latest stunt.

The Patriots wide receiver, who only caught 1 pass in the Super Bowl, said on Twitter that he will be changing his name back to Chad Johnson.

Ochocinco legally changed his surname on August 29, 2008 while he played for the Bengals.

In response to a tweet from a fan talking about the 5 signed Ochocinco jerseys on his wall, the Patriots receiver said, "Take them down, i'll be Johnson on july 4th." When someone asked him about going back to his birth name, the receiver said he had a warrant out under Ochocinco and needed to change it.

We doubt it's a warrant. It just may have to do with his upcoming marriage to Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. I'm sure she would much rather have Johnson than Ochocinco at the end of her name.
