Brian Williams (born July 2, 1979 in High Point, North Carolina) is an American football player who currently plays cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Williams attended Southwest Guilford High School as a running back and linebacker/safety. Williams was arrested in September of 2006 in Jacksonville, Florida, on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to the police report, Williams said he would rather flip burgers than be a police officer and bragged that he went to a "name college" while the (expletive deleted) officer "went to public college, probably junior college." Asked if he wanted his female passenger to take his car, Williams replied, "I ain't letting that ho take my car," Bridges wrote. Advised that a tow truck was the only alternative, Bridges said Williams responded: "Let the [expletive deleted] take it." Williams also offered to let the arresting officer have sex with his date "if you let me go," according to the officer's notes. Eye witnesses have, however, rebuked the officer's characterization of the events.[1]
