🚨‼️ THROWBACK: February 2, 2021, a texas man Charles Williams Jr., then 49yr, from Corinth, Texas had a shootout with Corinth Police Officers and it gained national attention because it stirred up a debate over police use of force and self-defense (castle doctrine). The incident began when Corinth police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a reckless, potentially intoxicated driver matching Mr Williams description. Officers followed Williams to his home. Williams was armed with a holstered handgun on his hip and was verbally defensive, insisting he was on his own property and refusing commands to get on the ground. An officer first deployed a less-lethal bean-bag round, striking Williams as he stepped off his porch and Williams shot multiple live rounds back at the officers. The officers returned live fire, shooting Williams multiple times in the shoulder and legs. Williams survived his injuries, his wife was also struck in the ankle by a stray bullet. No officers were injured. ⚖️ In June 2023, Charles Williams Jr., then 51yr was charged with three counts of aggravated assault of a public servant and found guilty after the jury rejected the self defense strategy from his lawyers. In a surprising twist given the severity of the first-degree felony charges (which carried up to life in prison), the jury granted his family's plea for leniency. On June 16, 2023, Williams was sentenced to 10yrs probation. 🤯.
