UW-Milwaukee Point Guard Ran From Police After a DUI Stop, But the K-9 Unit Caught Him
Kaylon Williams of Wisconsin-Milwaukee led the Horizon League in assists last year (5.4). Williams is a 6-foot-3 point guard, and if he had a jumper, he’d be dangerous. But after what went down early Wednesday morning, he might not even be on the team next season.
Police in Cedar Rapids noticed a car missing a front license plate, and decided to pull the car over. Williams was driving. An officer got out to approach the vehicle, and Williams floored it. Then it gets good (or bad, for Williams):
Williams attempted to turn east on Linden Drive SE, but ran off the street onto the grass and then came back onto the street, police said. At that point, officers said Williams jumped out of the car without putting it in park and ran away. A passenger, later identified as the registered owner of the car, got into the driver’s seat and was able to stop the car.
Police lost sight of Williams during the footchase, but later saw him cross First Avenue East at 19th Street. A K-9 unit dog was released and found Williams, police said.
Police say Williams had a BAC of .228, which is three times the legal limit. They also stressed that the dog in the K-9 unit did not bite Williams, but “tackled” him. [Eastern Iowa News Now]

Brian Kelly thinks he should run some hills. Nothing more.

Took him down like Chuck Cecil. Milk bones for everyone.

Go Panthers.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Enough about this guy, we need a post about that dog!
August 11th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
So did the dog just jump at him? How did it tackle him? wrap the arms around? I thought they bite and wrestle the person to the ground.
I’ll never understand why people drive away from the cops. You’re not getting away, dude.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:52 PM

Tackled him with what his tail?
August 11th, 2011 at 12:54 PM
I don’t know, but if the dog wasn’t wear goggles this story is ruined for me.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:54 PM
I agree but the .228 BAC probably had something to do with his decision.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:55 PM
That dog is getting too old for this shit.

Because they’re on drugs.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:56 PM
I thought Bruce Pearl left UW-Milwaukee like 10 years ago?
August 11th, 2011 at 12:57 PM
I don’t think the drugs or alcohol have much to do with it. I think they’re just stupid and nervous.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:58 PM
they seriously need a show where it’s just clips of k-9′s being released on fleeing suspects, and drug sniffing dogs finding drugs. nothing more heartwarming than a great takedown and a dog looking proud and excited b/c it found the meth.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:59 PM
I’ll never understand why people drive away from the cops. You’re not getting away, dude.
I had a discussion about this a long time ago with an accounting professor. You have something like a 3% chance of getting away, on average, when you try to evade a traffic stop. I argued convincingly that you’re going to get busted 100% if you stop but you’ve got that 1 in 33 chance to get away if you run. So maybe this PG is a statistics major
August 11th, 2011 at 1:00 PM
drunk guy in my town got away from cops by hopping on a log and paddling out into the delaware river, waved goodbye as he floated downstream.
then the state police became involved and he was apprehended pretty quickly.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:00 PM
Yeah but dont you get charged with a worse crime and potentially get more jailtime for running? Is it worth the 3%?
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
Anyone else loving the fact that Tiger is +6 through 15?
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
Very true Stark, however if you try to flee you get another charge plus the cops get a lot rougher. That dog wasn’t coming out for a routine traffic stop.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
agree totally with wilhel – once the dogs are released, the cops should go to work and start videotaping
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
Maybe you failed to factor in to your risk assessment the additional charges you face by evading arrest?
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
He could have also just gotten a fix it ticket for the front license plate, and been playing XBOX and hitting the bong within 30 minutes.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
DAMN YOU CJ
August 11th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
HA. Love that guy.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:02 PM
it could be like the Kevin Durant video if you get commentary going.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:03 PM
I like watching drunk people run.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:03 PM

I’d watch that, especially if Sheen dies ten minutes into the movie.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:04 PM
Speaking of XBox and bongs, you guys hear that Chad Johnson is going to live with a Patriots fan for 3 weeks?
August 11th, 2011 at 1:05 PM
.228 is pretty impressive
August 11th, 2011 at 1:05 PM
I’ll never understand why people drive away from the cops. You’re not getting away, dude.
the rush? i think it would be fun to run from the cops, at least until you get caught.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:06 PM
if you stop but you’ve got that 1 in 33 chance to get away if you run. So maybe this PG is a statistics major
Isn’t evading/running from the police a felony, or at least a crime that has a much worse fine? Not too mention it looks a lot worse on your record than a speeding ticket.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:06 PM
Crap. I should read the comments more.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
I think resisting arrest is a misdemeanor. Not entirely sure though. I guess if you destroyed some public property in the process they could charge you with a felony.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
Speaking of Meth…have you seen the Colorado suspects who shot at police in Fl and did a bank robbery in Ga? Here is their mug shots.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
.228 is pretty impressive
Adam Dunn thinks so
August 11th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
He wasn’t getting away. He had three times the legal limit, so his ass was going to jail regardless. However fleeing brought more charges against him along with the dog making him his bitch.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
yeah, it definitely makes things a lot worse.
nothing like watching cop shows to see a guy run from a traffic stop b/c he had a pipe but no drugs. goes from traffic ticket and citation to misdemeanor or felony.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
What I’ve taken from the comments so far is that the dog was not wearing goggles and that stark is going to appear in the news soon for trying to outrun the cops.

I blew a .08 when I was 15. That was not a fun couple weeks — got alot of street cred as a freshman though.

Ever since she got off the junk, Jodie Sweetin isn’t looking bad at all.
I’d probably even pick her above Casey Anthony.

Haha! I barely even drive in the first place but if you haven’t been in a high speed chase living in L.A. you haven’t truly experienced the city. Part of the discussion of running from cops is that a high percentage (high majority, IIRC) of the people that do it are already in deep shit with warrants out and what not.

I would think a 3% escape rate is way too low. Where’d you see that?

Story time: back when I worked in politics I was driving from Dallas to the campaign office in Houston. I got into town on I-45 late in the morning and there was a lot of traffic. I had a lot of noise behind me and a helicopter overhead. A guy had stolen a black Lexus and was weaving in between the freeway traffic at 90 mph and a Texas state trooper was matching him weave for weave in a Tahoe. They went right past me. When they showed the chase on the evening news from the helicopter, you could see my car for about half a second.

It was in some kind of statistics class or another. It was specifically for high speed chases or something so I might be applying it too liberally

I was in a NASCAR Fantasy League a few years ago. I nearly went with Russell Philips’s Head as my team name. But decided it was in poor taste and so went with something about Dick Trickle.

You just need to embellish a little…that story definitely needs at least one death and an explosion of some kind. Have the re-write by COB.

I was feeling pretty unoriginal when I came up with mine so I called it “Mom Jeans”. I get a small chuckle out of it now when I click on it, but I’m more looking forward to the in-season smack talk.

Somebody dropped the “…blurst of times” yesterday during the Simpsons discussion…so it’s too fresh to use again, and I’m left with nothing.

What’s the o/u on the amount of times Arkbadger has used “Tony, Toney, Toni” as a fantasy team name.
I’ll say 3.
