A news release from the district attorney’s office also says the jury convicted 49 year old Bobby Williams Jr. for evading arrest with a prior conviction.
The trial judge sentenced Williams to a controlling sentence of eight years for the felonies.
Prosecutors say the crimes happened after BPD responded to a disturbance created by Williams in September 2022.
Online records show the jury found Williams not guilty of attempting to take a weapon from an officer.
A spokeswoman in the DA’s office says Williams is awaiting three more trials in Brazos County. One is from a May 2023 arrest for felony possession of a controlled substance. Another is from a March 2023 arrest for misdemeanor resisting arrest. And the third is from a September 2022 arrest for misdemeanor resisting arrest and criminal trespassing.
News release from the Brazos County district attorney’s office:
On February 13, 2025, Judge Kyle Hawthorne sentenced Bobby Williams to 8 years in prison and 24 months state jail after a Brazos County jury found him guilty of Retaliation and Evading with a Previous Conviction.
On September 26, 2022, Bryan Police officers responded to the area of Dunbar Drive and Manning for a civil disturbance. The first officer on seen found the defendant, who matched the description of the man causing the disturbance. The defendant then ran away from officers before being apprehended.
Once secured in handcuffs, the defendant began to go on an 90 minute tirade. The defendant threatened one officer over 30 times. These threats included threats to assault the officer, sexually assault the officer, and sexually assault the officer’s wife.
In March of 2023, a few months after the offense, the defendant was arrested for Resisting Arrest, where he again threatened law enforcement with physical assault.
In May of 2023, the defendant was arrested once more for possession of cocaine.
During the punishment phase, the State presented additional evidence of the defendant being convicted and sentenced to prison for Assault on a Public Servant, for biting an officer while they attempted to intervene in a domestic dispute.
Statement from assistant district attorneys Abigail Goodman and Kara Comte: “The defendant has had a history of violence and repeated threats to police officers and their families. A Brazos County judge and jury saw the defendant’s actions for what they were and responded accordingly.”
