Galesburg Police on Sunday evening (February 6th) responded to the 1700 block of Carl Sandburg Drive for a 911 hang-up. Officers arrived and made contact with an irate female subject, telling officers the male subject beat her up. Police are familiar with the couple having dealt with the two previously. The male subject was identified as 45-year old Anthony Williams of Galesburg. The female was actively bleeding from her hands, had blood on her pants, and a fat lip. After Williams was taken into custody, he began making explicit sexual remarks to officers. He demanded he is taken to the hospital where he told hospital staff he wanted to be taken to Peoria and have a sexual assault kit performed on him. Staff informed officers that Williams made similar statements back in September and it was a lie that he was assaulted, according to police reports. Due to his prior convictions of aggravated battery, Williams was charged with additional Felony counts of Aggravated Domestic Battery.
