FSU RB Karlos Williams reportedly declined to speak with investigators about robbery case
After it was revealed by Tallahassee police that Florida State RB Karlos Williams was the subject of a domestic battery investigation, Williams’ name has also surfaced as part of another incident in Tallahassee.
Florida state attorney Willie Meggs wanted to talk to Williams about a robbery that happened on June 23, according to ESPN. Meggs told ESPN that his department attempted to talk to Williams last week and that he declined to speak with an assistant state attorney and an investigator.
Meggs is the state attorney who reviewed the accusations of sexual assault against FSU quarterback Jameis WInston. Meggs didn’t charge Winston because of a lack of evidence and has been critical of the way the Tallahassee Police Department handled Winston’s investigation.
The robbery happened as part of a marijuana deal gone bad. Daravius Lawrence is charged with robbery with a firearm and Williams is listed as an associate of his on the police report. According to a spokesperson for the TPD, Williams declined to speak with the department last summer.
“At that time, Mr. Williams agreed to come in for an interview on Monday of the next week [June 30],” Northway said. “He did not show up for the interview. The investigator did try to reach him, and [Williams’ girlfriend] told the investigator that they had hired an attorney and would not be giving a statement.”
The TPD announced Williams was the subject of the domestic violence investigation via its Facebook page on Monday. After a report emerged that Williams was to be suspended, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said it was a false report.
Williams has not been charged regarding either incident.
Williams has 82 carries for 378 yards and seven touchdowns in 2014. Florida State plays Louisville on Thursday.
