JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams had not yet made headlines on the football field when he made news off the field, accused of making some offensive comments to an officer the night he was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
According to Jacksonville police, Williams went on a racist, profanity-laced rant on the September 2006 night he was charged with driving under the influence.
WJXT-TV has obtained court documents detailing what an officer says Williams said to him that night.
The officer involved wrote in his notes that Williams called him a, "Honky mother (expletive)."
The statement goes on to say that Williams said, "I (expletive) your momma ... I (expletive) your wife twice." It got worse when, according to the officer's notes, Williams said he would do something to the officer's daughter.
In 2006, Williams pleaded guilty to DUI and apologized for his actions; however, Williams recently changed his mind and withdrew his plea.
That decision allowed the notes of the arresting officer, who at the time said he did not know Williams had recently signed a multimillion dollar deal to play for the Jaguars, to be made public.
The officer said Williams told him, "You think I'm a drug dealing (expletive) looking for a gun?"
The report goes on to say when Williams realized his car was going to be towed and police asked if he wanted his date to drive it home, he yelled, "I'm not letting that (expletive) take my car." The officer stated Williams told him his car cost more than the officer will ever make.
WJXT tried to get comments from Williams, his attorney and the Jaguars regarding the comments allegedly made by Williams, but none would comment.
Groups, like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said if what the officer says is true, then Williams went too far.
The president of the local chapter of the NAACP, Isaiah Rumlin, said the incident shows what police face every day from all types of people.
"We can't tolerate this type of hatred and racial-type language in this community. It just divides -- that is all it does," Rumlin said.
Since Williams' arrest in 2006, eight other Jaguars players have had their own run-ins with the law.
LOL
I think there used to be a pop group called “The Average White Band”
Well, as I don’t have a wife, I guess that one would slide. Same for daughter as I only have a son.
Now momma... conflicted on that one for personal reasons. But were I a cop I’m fairly certain he’d have been tazed for resisting arrest.
Twice.
I know that there is a huge social stigma surrounding the “N” word, but if they just stopped acting offended like we do with the word honkey, then that word would have much less power.
Without the shock power, no one would want to use it, less victimization.
I would assume a variant of the model name of the Chrysler LeBaron - a luxury automobile in innercity Akron in 1984, no doubt.
Some how, some way his attorney will try and make it the police officer’s fault. Or slavery, one of the two.
"Honky"? lol...I haven't heard that word since George Jefferson used it on Tom Willis.
“hed have been tazed for resisting arrest.”
And probably in a place that would prevent him from ______ing anybody’s momma for quite some time. ;-)
Wellll, they do pronounce the word “funky” as “fonky” so corrupting “hunky” the same way isn’t a big surprise.
Now, ten minutes after they take the last drink it's on the net. Who cares what this guy said to a cop, If he committed a crime throw him in jail. And who the h--- cares what the NAACP says.
What does he drive? A '75 Lincoln?
“BTW, I notice that the NFL has completely replaced the NBA as the sports league of felons.”
I don’t know about that but then I used to live in IN (Pacers) talk about league of felons and then we have the Colts for the most part a well mannered team.
I think pro sports is out of control between the salaries and the egos....I find myself really enjoying college game day....
As a person of Hungarian heritage I guess I am. Kind of cool in a Darth Vaderish way. About the only time we impinge on popular culture was when Eva Gabor spoke Hungarian on Green Acres. :)
Ah my subtle humour fails to pay off. I was making an allusion to Mel Gibson’s recent arrest.
Honkies are responsible for all the wars. Are you a honky?
interesting......... i don’t have any hungarian in me that i know of
