Chad Williams

Male, White

Date of the incident: 7/2/2019

Gaylord, Otsego, MI
3295 A Old 27 S

Four deputies and one DNR officer went to Chad Williams' home for a mental health petition that was issued by a judge. Williams refused to come to the door. While deputies were at the home, a neighbor told them that Williams had threatened him with an ax. Deputies got a search warrant and went into the home, and Williams allegedly confronted them, wielding the ax. They reportedly asked him to drop the axe, but he did not, so they shot and killed him.
