Gainesville police say that they received an assault call from the pool-supply store and that when they arrived, Williams was already lying on the ground outside with his hands behind his back.ย 

According to police, a store employee said that Williams got into an argument with another employee, threw a pair of goggles at him and then punched the employee.ย 

โ€œThe cause of the argument wasnโ€™t immediately clear. When officers tried to question Williams, he told them to ask the store employee what happened,โ€ Police Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said.

Williams was arrested and now faces a misdemeanor battery charge. He was released on $5,000 bail.ย
