A day after the Tallahassee Police Department confirmed that Florida State running back Karlos Williams was the subject of a domestic battery investigation, Williams’ accuser asked police to “drop its investigation.”
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Nathan Prince, the attorney representing the alleged victim, “informally told” the TPD to stop the investigation and will formally put in a request to end it Tuesday. Prince said his client “will not talk to investigators, has not filed a complaint and did not notify TPD or FSU about any alleged domestic battery incident.”
The woman and Williams have a child together and another on the way, Prince said. The two no longer live together and are no longer a couple.
Additionally, Prince told the Democrat that he does not think probable cause for an arrest of Williams exists due to the lack of witnesses. Prince said that he thinks Florida State and police were alerted “after internet rumors started” saying Williams’ girlfriend had been the victim of domestic violence.
“She doesn’t want to make any comments on the facts of the case,” Prince said. “There aren’t any witnesses that have provided testimony.”
Tim Jansen, Williams’ attorney, was unaware of the woman’s attorney’s intention to get the case dropped when reached by the Democrat.
Elsewhere, a report emerged Monday night that Williams’ name surfaced as part of an investigation into an armed robbery that occurred on June 23. When reached last week, Williams declined to speak with investigators about the case.
Williams, who leads FSU with 378 yards rushing and seven touchdowns, has not been charged in either incident.
The second-ranked Seminoles play Louisville on the road Thursday night.
