Galesburg Police on Sunday, October 17th responded to the 1500 block of McKnight Street for a complaint of an unwanted subject. Officers met with a female victim who said 27-year old JD Williams Jr. of Galesburg had struck her in the face, knocked her down, hit her head against a metal rail, and then kicked her numerous times while she was down. The two had been in a relationship and Williams was moving out of the residence. He took off on foot when officers arrived but returned a short time later. After getting both sides of the story, Williams was informed he was under arrest. Williams tensed up and refused to comply with police commands and a struggle ensued. At one point, officers un-holstered a taser but Williams wrestled it away from police. He was eventually detained. Williams was ultimately charged with Domestic Battery making Physical Contact, Disarming a Peace Officer, and Felony charges of Resisting Arrest.
