Police responded to an incident at the home of Eizelle Gardner and arrested Williams on kidnapping charges. Gardner states she heard police say ‘Look at this stupid m/f he's about to die." Williams ran and officers caught him in a field. Witness Kimberly Hawthorne states "They had him back there for about an hour; just kept tasing and tasing him until the taser quit working." Police report that Williams did not die during the arrest but that when he was apprehended he stated he was exhausted and could not stand up. The autopsy stated no lethal injury was found, and therefore data from the officers' tasers will not be reviewed.
