   On Monday, June 15, around 3:00 p.m. a male arrived at the hospital with a gunshot injury to his leg. He told officials at the hospital that he was shot by Joshua Dale Williams (43) during an argument on the east side.

   While detectives and crime scene were investigating and collecting evidence, it was confirmed Williams had a felony warrant for intimidation from an incident a few weeks prior. Officers later located Williams at his address at 213 E Missouri.

   Officers had confirmation from 2 independent witnesses that he was still inside and was likely armed.  A perimeter was set up and negotiators were called to make contact with Williams. A search warrant was obtained for the residence while Williams remained barricaded for a few hours. Negotiators were able to effectively negotiate Williams’ surrender.  He was taken into custody without incident around 11:30 p.m.   

 

  Williams was charged with battery committed with a deadly weapon and intimidation, both felonies.Â
