OJ Da Juiceman Arrested on 10 Counts in Alleged Gun-Pointing at Georgia Trooper

A sworn affidavit now disputes he was the driver.

Overview

  • Otis “OJ da Juiceman” Williams Jr., arrested March 15th, is accused of pointing a handgun at a state trooper during a late-January encounter on I-20 East in Atlanta.
  • Charging papers list felony aggravated assault on a public safety officer and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, plus a misdemeanor for pointing a gun and several traffic offenses.
  • Investigators say they identified a Nissan Altima from the scene and tied it to Williams through the license plate and a rental record.
  • His lawyer is seeking bond and argues he has deep ties to Georgia and is not a flight risk, and a sworn affidavit from a woman says another man was using the rental car.
  • Upcoming court hearings will determine pretrial release, with who was actually driving now a central question for the case.
