According to Williams’ arrest report, the officer that was parked in the driveway stated that he had just finished responding to a domestic dispute, was checking his emails and would be leaving in a short amount of time. That officer said Williams threw a spoon at him, hitting his forearm.

The arrest report stated the officer called for backup, intending to arrest Williams for battery on a law enforcement officer.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, when the officer’s back-up arrived, they tried to take Williams into custody and she kicked the first officer in the groin. As she was wrestled into handcuffs, the report said, a loaded handgun fell off her, and it was taken into evidence.

A spokesperson for the Sherif’s Office told News4Jax on Friday that the incident was under administrative review.
