Heisman trophy winner Ricky Williams was briefly detained by Tyler police in the parking lot of a South Broadway hotel.
Williams was in Tyler on Jan. 11 for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award banquet.
In an interview with an Austin radio show that aired Wednesday morning, Williams said he arrived a few hours early and decided to "go for a walk."

Tyler police records show officers were sent to the 8000 block of Yale Drive about 3:20 p.m. after receiving a call about a suspicious person. The man who placed that call says he didn't recognize Williams and was concerned about what he saw.
"He didn't threaten me in any way, but he was hanging out in this wooded area, crouching down behind the bushes," the man said Wednesday.
Williams told the radio show that he was questioned with his hands behind his back, but never handcuffed. He also said that the police officers apologized once the misunderstanding was cleared up.
An incident report filed by Tyler police shows that four officers were at the scene, and no arrest is documented in connection to the incident.
Tyler police released a statement about the incident Wednesday afternoon.
"On Wednesday, January 11, 2017, at approximately 3:30 p.m. Tyler Police received a call from a resident at 8239 Yale in reference to a suspicious person behind his fence line in his backyard.
The caller stated that his dog was barking in his backyard as if someone was back there. The caller then observed a black male, wearing all black crouched down behind his wire fence in a green belt area that backed up to the Courtyard Marriott. The homeowner made verbal contact with the subject who asked the owner if he was looking for his dog. The subject then continued a short distance to the north climbing over the fence into the Colonial Hills Baptist Church rear parking lot. After the subject left the area the homeowner called the police.
While checking the area police contacted a construction worker with Saltgrass Steak House and were advised that a person matching the description had been seen in the area. The worker stated that the person picked up a tape measure and was going to walk off with it. He told the subject that the property did not belong to him and it was returned.
Around 4 p.m. officers located a subject matching the description provided by the caller just north of the Courtyard Marriott. Officers conducted a short investigation in reference to the suspicious person call. During the course of the interview, officers identified the individual as Ricky Williams. After obtaining all of the necessary information officers completed the contact with Mr. Williams.
No further action was taken by officers."

I've been to Colonial Hills. They used to own the steakhouse lot and sold it for a pretty penny. Now it's a weed walkway.

To be clear for those not familiar with Tyler, there's no park or public area near those places mentioned.

Hotel backs up to older resedential area.
Imagine home owner would have called if he saw JFF in a hoodie back there.
You know, if you are in strange town, seems you would check things out before you take a stroll, do not care what color you are.
Knowing Ricky's love for weed, he reeked of it or he stashed it, cops knew, but let him slide- and prima Donna he is, just does not know how to not whine. Plenty of neighborhoods I could walk down street, much less jump wall and get calls on- I would be profiled too.

So they have been talking about this incident a lot on local sports talk radio here in Austin. Ricky does an hour long show on Wednesday's nights (16 week agreement just ended) and apparently they talked about it on air last night too. It was clear that Erin Hogan (host) watched the video and had spoken first hand to Ricky about what happened, yet no mention at all was made about him being crouched down behind the fence or the tape measure incident. Talk about selective reporting. This article definitely adds a little more to the story that was simply ignored on air. Wow. Then again, guess I am not really surprised. Oh, and Erin's co-host is Bucky Godbolt who was Ricky's running backs coach while he was at tu. So yeah, the pair is just a bit biased.

That neighborhood/church is right down the street from Delk Photography. Ricky wouldn't know this but Robert Delk killed an intruder to his home a few years back.

Ricky should be glad he didn't venture father down the road...

That video shows an effed up side of our country.

And the idiot cop thought Earl Campbell was a football coach.

In addition to being familiar with the grassy knolls in question, I also know a cop who was promoted to lieutenant not too long ago. He's a good guy, tall and intimidating, and not a fan of weed-smokin' suburban creepers.

Did Ron Dayne show up shortly after to surpass him again?
