An Orlando firefighter, 47-year-old La Teef Williams, faces charges of stalking, witness tampering, and unlawful installation of a tracking device, according to the Cocoa Police Department. WESH reported that this is Williams’ second arrest in less than three years, with his first encounter with law enforcement resulting from a threatening joke that involved a knife back in 2023.
Details emerged indicating that Williams was in the process of separating from the victim as of last Friday, as stated to officers. Despite not being given consent, he installed a tracking device on the victim’s vehicle in October. WFTV noted that his history includes a non-prosecuted charge of battery on another firefighter in 2023.
The situation escalated when Williams persisted in appearing at the victim’s workplace, prompting her to request that he be trespassed from the property. As the Cocoa Police Department describes, he left several notes on her vehicle, one of which read, “You have nowhere to go and no place to hide!! Return what you stole! You can be found!” Williams confessed to the police that he was indeed behind these menacing messages, as detailed by WESH…
