Press release from the District Attorney’s Office:
On March 29, 2024, a Humboldt County jury convicted 47 years-old
Samuel Williams of felonious criminal threats and brandishing a
firearm. During early morning hours of March 24, 2023, Williams made
an unannounced entry into the McKinleyville home of his estranged
wife wherein she and her male friend were located. Without
provocation, Williams threatened to kill the friend and pointed his
firearm at the unarmed man causing him to fear for his life.

Yesterday, during
the sentencing hearing the Honorable Judge Timothy Canning placed
Williams on formal supervised probation for a period of 2 years and
ordered Williams to serve 90 days in jail for his crimes.
The case was
prosecuted by DDA Candace Myers with assistance from DA Investigator
Steve Dunn. Williams was represented by local attorney David Celli.
District Attorney
Stacey Eads extends her gratitude to the jurors for their time and
service.
