Multi-State Investigation Culminates in Conviction

The case demonstrated significant cooperation between Maryland and New Jersey law enforcement agencies. Maryland State Police conducted the initial arrest in December 2020, working with Burlington County authorities. The investigation, which crossed state lines, culminated in Williams’ arrest in Clinton, Maryland, though the crimes occurred in Burlington County, New Jersey. A successful prosecution requires extensive jurisdiction coordination to bring the case to trial.

Prosecutor’s Office Secures Lengthy Prison Term

Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw’s office pursued maximum penalties in the case, resulting in a sentence that requires Williams to serve nearly four decades before parole consideration. “We admire the strength and determination displayed during the prosecution,” Bradshaw stated after the December 23 sentencing hearing. The 41-year sentence, with its 38-year mandatory minimum before parole eligibility, represents one of the most substantial terms handed down in Burlington County for similar offenses.
