HARDIN CO.—An incident occurring on deadline left a well-known Hardin County girl behind bars as of press time (May 3, 2015).
Alyse Williams, being called “Leslie Williams” in news releases (which is her real first name), age 18, most recently of Harrisburg but previously of rural Cave-in-Rock in Hardin County, was arrested in the early morning hours of Friday, May 1, after a high-speed chase resulted in a traffic stop on a Kentucky interstate.
And when she was arrested, Kentucky state troopers found a whole batch of contraband in the vehicle with her and a passenger, Tony Patrick, 30, of an undisclosed town in Alabama.
What Williams was doing in the whole ordeal had yet to be disclosed as of press time, but the girl is definitely displaying a trait passed down by her parents, “Big Dave” and Tina Williams, both of them with criminal records, and both of them having to do with dope.
The adventure started just before 3 a.m. on the morning of May 1 when the Marshall County, Kentucky, sheriff’s department was contacted by McCracken County, Kentucky, to be advised that a state trooper was attempting to stop a car moving at speeds near 100 mph on Interstate 24.
At that point, a Marshall County deputy saw the car take an exit off I-24 and on to the Purchase Parkway, and joined the KSP trooper in the chase…which at that point was reaching speeds in excess of 120 mph.
The vehicle was reported weaving in and out of traffic and going around other vehicles at this frightening speed.
Nevertheless, police vehicles closed in on the car and one was able to do the “PIT” maneuver (“precision immobilization technique”) on it, which involves a law enforcement car “tapping” the bumper of the fleeing car, causing it to go out of control, and the vehicle was finally stopped at exit 27 on the interstate.
After police pulled the two from the vehicle, they searched it and located marijuana, a plastic baggie full of a white powdery substance that field-tested positive for meth, and a “large sum of money,” the exact amount undisclosed.
With both driver and passenger taken into custody by Marshall County authorities, Williams was held on arresting charges of Fleeing or Evading Police, Wanton Endangerment, Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance, Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, and Failure to Maintain Required Insurance on a vehicle.
Patrick was issued arresting charges of Unlawful Possession of Marijuana and Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance.
It’s unclear whether or not the two originated their spree at some point in Illinois, whether anyone could attest to drug activity going across state lines, and whether the two, as a consequence, might see their charges go federal.
Williams had held a mini reign of terror in Hardin while she was in high school there; given her mother’s combative proclivities and encouraged by Tina to do bad, Alyse was tossed out of Hardin County and into Harrisburg’s alternative school after she and another HC miscreant, Madison Hirsch, developed a “Kill List” in 2012. She was returned to HC the next school year (2013-14), but continued to get into one scrape after another at the school, one of which was posted on YouTube for a short while.
But when her mother was arrested and charged in 2014 with cyberstalking crimes, it appeared Alyse wanted to straighten up a bit, and she told people she was distancing herself from the ever-raving Tina, actually stating to Disclosure that she was “embarrassed” by her mother’s behavior.
Now, however, the embarrassment factor has shifted, and Leslie E. Alyse Williams, in a venue where she’s not protected by the powers-that-be (it took forever to apprehend Tina Williams because of the business dealings “Big Dave” has with members of prosecutor Tara Wallace’s family members), will be facing big-girl charges that will no doubt end her budding modeling career, which she seemed to stumble upon about a year ago as well.
Updates will be forthcoming in future issues and online.
