According to a New York Times report, Florida State cornerback P.J. Williams allegedly received preferential treatment from the Tallahassee Police Department after an early morning car accident on Oct. 5.

The report states that Williams, driving on a suspended license, drove his car into the path of an oncoming vehicle, totaling both vehicles. Rather than remain at the scene of the accident, Williams and his two passengers left his vehicle and fled on foot. Williams eventually returned to the scene, but was only issued two traffic tickets rather than being charged with hit-and-run.

From the report:

The New York Times looked into how the police handled this case, reviewing law enforcement records and interviewing witnesses, lawyers, the police and a university representative. The examination found that Mr. Williams, driving with a suspended license, was given a break by the Tallahassee police, who initially labeled the accident a hit and run, a criminal act, but later decided to issue him only two traffic tickets. Afterward, the case did not show up in the city’s public online database of police calls — a technical glitch, the police said. The Times also showed its findings to the Tallahassee police chief, Michael DeLeo, who said in an interview that the department would “conduct an investigation to determine what happened and whether the officers acted appropriately.” He added, “No one should be shown any favoritism.” Florida State declined to make anyone available for an interview.
