78 Year-Old Indicted Warner Robbins City Councilman Released After Violating Probation for Alleged Fiancee Less Than Half His Age
Former City Councilman of Warner Robins, Georgia, John Williams, was released last Friday after spending two days in prison for violation of his Federal pretrial release, according to 13WMAZ in Macon. Williams has been charged with extortion in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia for trying to obtain money from a car dealer in exchange for arranging the sale of a truck to a police department. Williams, 78, violated the terms of his release by driving to Florida to post bail for Stormy Smith, 32. Smith has told police that she and Williams are engaged. Williams' current wife, Elna Williams, got into an altercation with Smith and allegedly threatened to kill her. Williams lost his re-election bid last November, and is scheduled to go to trial on the Federal charges on April 23rd.
