The FBI has arrested former Detroit Lions draft pick Antwione Williams this week on two felonies, including an assault charge.
Williams’ arrest is believed to be the first arrest made in connection with the January 6 Capitol riots from supporters of former President Donald Trump since he won reelection to the White House last week.
Williams only played for one season on a 53-man NFL roster, being waived by the Lions in 2017, the year after they drafted him.
Williams was identified in the huge crowd at the riots by a special agent within the FBI, matching a few photos from his social media to the outfit he wore to the US Capitol on the day of the insurrection attempt.
More to come.
