Battery Claim

Karlos Williams Probed in Domestic Abuse

Florida State running back.

Florida State running back Karlos Williams is under investigation over an accusation of domestic battery, the Tallahassee Police Department announced. The department received the case against Williams on Saturday, and no details were made public. Williams, 21, is a senior and the Seminoles’ leading rusher, with 378 yards and seven touchdowns. ESPN reported that the running back is being investigated for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, who lives with him and is pregnant with the couple’s second child. He is the third Florida State starter to face an abuse claim in the past two years. The university’s athletic department said in a statement it was “aware of an investigation” and that Williams’ status with the team was “under review.”
