Officer Williams was involved in a use-of-force incident on October 17, 2021, where he arrested Liana Beam during a domestic disturbance call. He was found to have used excessive force by thrusting Beam face-first into the asphalt while she was handcuffed and non-assaultive. Additionally, he failed to de-escalate the situation and did not provide necessary care after Beam appeared unconscious. These violations led to his termination on May 4, 2022.
