She also faces four misdemeanor domestic battery charges.
Her public defender, Ryan Bashor, told the judge that Williams has lived in Nevada for five years and “there should be no issue with a no-contact order” since the person Williams is accused of attacking “is in the process or has already relocated” out of the house. Williams was accused of using her hands around her partner’s neck to choke her and of wielding a “heavy candle in one hand and heavy metal stand in the other” as weapons to prevent the woman from leaving a bedroom.
