    Mike Williams due back in court

    Bills' Williams rejected from pre-trial program

    Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mike Williams is due back in a Florida court on May 29 after he was rejected from a pre-trial diversion program for two misdemeanor charges.

    Hillsborough County court records show that Williams' case was re-opened on April 22, two weeks after he was traded from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Bills.

    Williams faces misdemeanor charges of trespassing and criminal mischief after he allegedly caused $200 in damage to his girlfriend's front door last December. He pleaded not guilty to the charges but entered a pre-trial diversion program in March that would have resulted in the charges being dropped had it been completed.

    Hadley Engelhard, Williams' agent, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about why Williams was rejected from the pre-trial diversion program, but it's possible that Williams cannot complete the program because he moved to Buffalo.

    Didn't he stab his brother in the leg?

      No, his brother stabbed him.

        His family being about 1,000 miles away seems like a good idea.

          So what does/should this mean? Just because he got traded 1,000 miles away doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to participate in a diversion program in Buffalo. Not that being away from Tampa isn't enough of a diversion.

            One of the conditions of many diversion programs is, that similar, to probation you can't leave the area. Williams got traded so he left the area and his diversion program didn't work out. From the reports I've read this still going to be a community service, and fine type deal.

              As long as he doesn't get suspended, I'm okay with it.

              Any thoughts on Marcell's bust?
