2019 Misconduct
On November 21, 2019, the mother of William's child contacted an auditor for the state's Criminal Justice Computer System to report her suspicion that Williams had used the system to access her driving records in a search for leverage during their child support and custody litigation. Williams had provided information to his attorney and had contacted the woman's insurance company to report her for driving on a suspended license.[1]
