Deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person who had been seen walking around a Walmart several times through the evening. Deputies found the man allegedly attempting to conceal himself in the rear of the store at 2:30 a.m.
Major Crimes Detectives had identified Williams as a possible suspect in both robberies at the Speedway, and they obtained a search warrant for his home and found evidence that linked him to the two robberies, adding to his charges.
Detectives also found a controlled substance and suspected drug paraphernalia in Williams' room, and he's facing charges for those, as well, deputies said.
Williams was booked into the County Jail where he remains in lieu of bonds totaling $206,100.
