Mikey Williams Faces Trial for Gun Charges
Memphis’s young sensation, Mikey Williams, finds himself in legal turmoil as he gears up for a trial on gun charges. During a recent hearing, it was decided that Williams would be arraigned on October 24, marking a pivotal moment in his journey. However, a glimmer of hope remains, as Judge Sherry M. Thompson-Taylor declined the prosecution’s request to raise his bond to an astronomical $500,000.

This legal battle traces back to an incident in California, where Williams allegedly discharged a firearm at an occupied vehicle following a heated dispute. Remarkably, though bullets struck the vehicle, no occupants sustained injuries. Despite the lack of concrete eyewitnesses to the firearm’s discharge, Judge Thompson-Taylor deemed the existence of probable cause sufficient to proceed to trial. In a stern warning, she made it clear that any potential witness intimidation would not be tolerated, prompting her to clear the courtroom of potential disturbances.
The impending arraignment leaves Mikey Williams’ future with Memphis basketball uncertain, potentially affecting the start of the college basketball season. Missing the team’s summer trip to the Dominican Republic and the initial week of official practices, his absence becomes more conspicuous. The outcome of the trial carries a maximum penalty of 28 years in prison if Williams is found guilty on all counts.
