Former Deputy Tyler Williams was charged with excessive force and obstruction of justice after a July 4, 2023, incident where he threw a handcuffed suspect to the ground, rendering him unconscious. The incident was captured on body-worn camera footage. Williams falsified the incident report by claiming he feared the suspect had a weapon. Prior to his tenure at Hendry County, Williams faced multiple internal affairs investigations at the Fort Myers Police Department, including failing to report child endangerment and reckless driving. He resigned from FMPD in lieu of termination.
