After three and a half hours of trying to get Williams out of the house, he was arrested.

News Chopper 2 was over the home and can see several police cars surrounding the home. It also appears that the garage door at the home has been crashed into, but it is unclear if that happened during Wednesday afternoon’s incident.

Williams’ initial warrants were charging him with terroristic threats and violation of a family violence order. It is unclear what further charges he will face.
