On Wednesday, July 02, 2014 at approximately 1010 hours, the Scott County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of Scott Community College (SCC) reference a report of a female who had been physically assaulted.

Just minutes prior to the assault, the 47 year old female parked at SCC to watch a PV/Central high school baseball game. As she was exiting her vehicle, she was approached and physically pushed back into her vehicle by a male subject. The female struggled back, honking her vehicle horn and yelling.

She drew the attention of spectators at the game. The male subject took off running toward SCC, as a few spectators ran after him and kept view of his whereabouts. The spectators initiated a call to the Scott Emergency Communications Center (SECC) who in turn dispatched Deputies. A Deputy was able to take the male subject into custody shortly thereafter without incident.

The female while visibly upset by the incident, was not seriously injured.

The female did not know the male subject prior to the incident.

The male subject was identified and charged as follows:

Name: Anthony Duane Williams, Jr, age 24, a resident of Rock Island.

Charges:

1 count of Burglary 2nd Degree, a class "C" felony.

1 count of Driving While Revoked, a simple misdemeanor.

William's total bond on the charges filed is $ 10,300.00.

A photo of Williams can be seen at www.scottcountyiowa.com under "Sheriff's Office Inmate Listings" for today's date.

The case remains under further investigation.

No further information is being released at this time.

"A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty."
