Williams, wife 'trying to put things back together'
Associated Pres
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay cornerback Tyrone Williams returned to practice Thursday after a fight with his wife that left him injured and her in jail.
Williams, who needed several stitches to close a gash in his right forearm, took a day off to deal with the matter and said he and his wife, Shantel, were trying to resolve their differences.
"The domestic incident that my wife and I just experienced obviously is something that escalated farther than either one of us cared for it to," Williams said, reading from a statement. "We are presently trying to put things back together in our lives and the lives of our children. ...
"My wife is a loving, caring person who deeply cares about me and my well-being.
He said his focus was "totally on doing all I can do to help" the Packers beat the St. Louis Rams in the NFC playoffs this Sunday.
Williams, who had his right forearm and wrist bandaged at practice, said his injury wasn't serious.
"I've played with worse things than this and it won't affect me one bit," Williams said. "Today, I felt great out there moving around and you know, just business as usual. I will be focused for this football game.
"My kids are doing great back home and my family is doing great. So, right now I'm just focused on St. Louis and getting this team to the next level."
Coach Mike Sherman said he hoped this would be the end of the issue. He listened as Williams spoke and gave him a pat on the back as they left.
A court date for Williams' wife, Shantel, was set for Feb. 12. She was arrested Tuesday night and jailed for several hours before posting $850 bond.
Police Capt. Bruce Tilkens said Tyrone Williams arrived home before 9 p.m. with a male friend who wasn't a teammate and found the tires on his 1978 Chevrolet Malibu slashed and windows broken. When he entered the home, he found his clothes cut up or doused with bleach, writing on the walls of his house in red lipstick and items broken.
Shantel Williams used pepper spray on her husband and he pulled her to the floor, Tilkens said. That's when Williams received a gash above his right wrist that required stitches. Police did not know what caused the cut. Williams didn't address the fight itself Thursday.
On Wednesday, Brown County Court Commissioner Lawrence Gazeley lifted a no-contact provision against Shantel Williams after her husband said it was an isolated incident and he didn't feel he was in danger.
"It was totally out of character," he told the court. "We love each other very much. Right now we have problems and hope to get counseling."
Williams' agent, Dick Davis of West Palm Beach, Fla., said the couple's three young children were in South Florida with their grandparents.
Brown County Assistant District Attorney Kendall Kelley said his office was reviewing the case. "But I don't anticipate any felony charges," he said. |
