A strange 911 call about a robbery led to the arrest of a Galesburg man on a variety of charges. GPD received an afternoon 911 call on Sunday, September 19th about a possible armed robbery occurring at Kay Jewelers on Knox Square Drive. Officers responded to the store and found the complaint was unfounded, according to police reports. Dispatchers informed officers where the call came from, so police responded to the 1700 block of Carl Sandburg Drive. There, officers met with a female who told police 44-year old Anthony Williams was inside the apartment. She has an order of protection against Williams. He was taken into custody. The cell phone that made the false 911 call was found on Williams, and why the call was made is still unclear. Williams was charged with Felony Charges of Disorderly Conduct, Violating an Order of Protection, and a Cook County Warrant for Driving on a Suspended License.
