Meanwhile, the gossip outlet reported on Tuesday that police said witnesses reported seeing security staff attempting to escort Williams out of the gentlemen’s club when an alleged altercation commenced between Williams and the guard.
Police maintained witnesses reported that the security manager said the dispute was over money that had allegedly fallen out of Williams’ pants and while the amount is unclear, police pressed that the Memphis native allegedly drew a gun and fired a round toward the ground and one of the guards was struck in the right ankle before being taken to an area hospital.
