Nathan Williams' case settled
Defensive end Nathan Williams pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was fined $150 earlier this month, settling the case that began with him being charged with theft after a December 2008 incident at a Dayton-area mall.

Williams and a friend were stopped by security personnel as they were leaving Macy's in the Mall at Fairfield Commons, and Williams had three shirts valued at about $80. He told the Dispatch his friend had taken them, and when it was apparent they were going to be stopped, Williams agreed to take the shirts -- and the blame -- because his friend had been in prior legal trouble and another offense would mean jail time.

Williams originally pleaded not guilty to two first-degree misdemeanor charges: theft and possession of criminal tools.

In Fairborn Municipal Court on April 16, he pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge of unauthorized use of property, and the second charge was dropped. A 30-day jail sentence was suspended.
