A warrant was issued for his arrest.

Williams was returned to the Diagnostic and Evaluation Center (DEC). He has been cited for escape.

Williams is serving a 14- to 20-year sentence on two counts of first degree forgery out of Douglas County. He has a tentative release date of November 17, 2022 and a parole eligibility date of October 30, 2019. Williams is scheduled for a hearing before the Board of Parole on October 1, 2019.
