Dominic Williams Plea Deal Details | Lincoln News

Dominic Williams, 36, just accepted a plea deal in a harrowing case from last year, admitting to first-degree assault with a gun, unlawful possession, and a brutal kidnapping that left a woman barely recognizable—charges that could land him up to 50 years behind bars. The original kidnapping charge was dropped in exchange, and sentencing is set for August 28. It all began last October when police responded to a welfare call after a chilling text with photos of the victim’s injuries surfaced. Officers eventually spotted Williams fleeing in an SUV, pulled him over hours later, and found the victim unconscious and critically injured in the backseat. Though Williams claimed he was trying to help, evidence—including dried blood in his vehicle and a confession from a third party—points to him beating her to uncover who robbed him. Authorities see this as a dispute between rival groups, not domestic violence or gang activity. The fate of this case—and Williams’ future—hangs in the balance come August.
