A spokesperson from the department stated that “at this time, there is no plan to find and arrest” the 23-year-old rookie, but Williams “has been contacted to turn himself in.” But, the spokesperson did say that if Williams is stopped by police officers before turning himself in, “he would be arrested then.” Williams was involved in an automobile accident when he crashed his car, a Black Corvette, into another vehicle around 2:15 p.m. on Dec. 22 in Plano.
