He also is alleged to have pistol-whipped her with a Gen-X handgun, before strangling her to the point where she passed out around 11 p.m. that night.The woman reportedly did not regain consciousness until 8 a.m. the next morning.According to the affidavit, the acts of physical abuse had started after Williams reportedly had gone through his girlfriend’s phone moments earlier.On Saturday, officers then went to arrest Williams, where he led officers on the chase across I-75 while he had other people inside of his vehicle. He reportedly refused to let any of his passengers out during the chase, at one point saying that he was going to “kill everyone in the vehicle.”Upon his arrest, Williams was said to have been found with cocaine, fentanyl and Xanax in his possession, which court documents allege that he was preparing to distribute to others.Williams now faces 19 different charges in relation to Tuesday’s domestic assault and Saturday’s police chase. These include felonious assault, strangulation, domestic violence, kidnapping, resisting arrest, and trafficking in drugs, among numerous others.
