According to his plea agreement, Williams can’t own or be around pets. He must also pay all court costs and fees in $50 monthly installments.

Eight other animal cruelty charges, along with one charge each of possession of a Schedule I/II controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, were nolle prossed.

In July 2025, authorities visited the home due to an anonymous caller who requested a welfare check on a girl living in the home.

However, when authorited arrived, they were “immediately overwhelmed by a strong foul odor consistent with the presence of a large number of animals.”

Officers observed 10 or more cats and “large quantities” of cat urine and feces in the house, along with human food, pet food, and trash.

Police found the girl in her bedroom, sitting on a mattress. “The room, like the rest of the house, was heavily soiled with urine, feces, and refuse. The air inside the home was barely breathable due to a strong ammonia odor,” an officer said.

Police said the girl appeared “visibly embarrassed” about the state of the home, and said she could not remember the last time she ate.

Poor girl. Meth seems like a really cool drug. Maybe they aspired to open a Chinese restaurant.

Hopefully the owners of the dead cats and dogs could do a clandestine inspection of the outside of the house to see if it is fire resistant.....

Seeing as how I recently watched ‘High Noon’, my thought was Gary Cooper. But I don’t think he’s a FReeper.

Okay. Is it me? Or does this guy resemble a dead, frozen cat himself?

If he had 25 aborted human babies in his freezer instead of cats, they would have given him an award and a job at an abortion clinic

It would appear the cats couldn't remember, either.

23 cats in the freezer was the maximum of what is considered normal.

I don't care who you are, that's funny!

On a serious note: the suspect appears to be a complete psychopath. Imagine that guy living next to you.

Not the world’s most handsome guy here, but on the other hand, I don’t think I would look that way even if you did open up a deep freezer and see me in it!

Guy gives me the creeps.
