Why was Avantae Williams arrested?
According to a police report obtained by the Miami Herald, Williams’ arrest stemmed from an argument with his child’s mother, who is also pregnant with his baby.
The two lived together in West Kendall, although they are “ex-girlfriend/boyfriend,” the report said.
The two got into an argument on July 21 over Williams “being involved with another woman,” the report said.
“When I return from practice, you need to be gone,” he allegedly told the woman.
But when he returned in the afternoon, she was still packing her belongings.
According to police, Williams grabbed her by the hair and threw her onto the bed.
“Get the f–k out,” he yelled, the report said.
He also grabbed her by the hair and threw her outside the home, causing her to hit her head on the ground, police said.
She got a neighbor to call 911.
Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue paramedics took her to West Kendall Hospital and noted “multiple bruises to her arms,” a minor bruise on her neck, and two broken fingernails.
