The announcement came from Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Larson, as indicated on the Department of Justice’s website.
The plea hearing disclosed that on December 6, 2023, Williams, along with masked coconspirators, forcibly took possession of a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, personal items, including a bracelet, a cell phone, and a wallet from the victims.
