Following the connection to the overdose, law enforcement searched Williams’ Baltimore residence. The search uncovered significant amounts of cocaine base, fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and cash. The fentanyl was found packaged in a manner consistent with individual street-level distribution. Authorities noted that Williams’ criminal record includes prior convictions for assault, battery, firearms offenses, robbery, theft, and sex trafficking.
Williams is required to serve three years of supervised release once his prison term concludes. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher, and the investigation was led by the Eastern Panhandle Drug Task Force, a unit funded by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program.
