Williams was driving home from work when Officers Fry and Lobianco pulled him over. Officer Lobianco asked for his registration and as Williams reached for his wallet, the officer ordered him out of his vehicle. As he was exiting his vehicle, both officers aggressively pulled Williams out the vehicle and handcuffed him. Williams asked why the officers were acting so aggressively and they responded by yelling at him and hitting him in the mouth, causing him to bleed. Williams had to get treatment for his injuries at Trinity Hospital. The criminal charges filed against him were later dropped.
