A routine traffic stop turned confrontational on Tuesday when a 39-year-old man was arrested for multiple offenses following an encounter with Georgia State Patrol troopers on GA 20 near Horseleg Creek Road. Joshua Keith Williams, a resident of Rome, was initially pulled over for driving with an expired tag decal. According to Floyd County Jail Records, the situation escalated when troopers approached Williams’ vehicle, and he became verbally combative, refusing to present a valid driver’s license. During the interaction, officers discovered that Williams’ driver’s license had expired on August 6th, prompting them to issue a citation. In a defiant display, Williams allegedly tore up the citation in front of the troopers while continuing to direct abusive language towards them. As a result of his actions, Williams is now facing several charges, including driving without a license in possession, driving on an expired license, operating a vehicle unlawfully, and obstruction.
