Eric Baylor, 23, faces a charge of aggravated battery domestic violence after Williams was stabbed in the thigh at his Avila home. Baylor, of Buffalo, N.Y., turned himself in at Orient Road Jail at 10 p.m. Monday.
Hillsborough sheriff’s deputies investigating the stabbing of Williams on Sunday said a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Williams’ brother because of differing versions of what happened and the fact the brother fled the scene.
“When we got on scene, witnesses were saying it was horseplay and an accident because Mike was saying it was horseplay and an accident,” said sheriff’s spokeswoman Cristal Bermudez Nuñez. “No one wanted to say what happened, because Mike was saying what happened.”
But later, when official sworn statements were taken, witnesses’ accounts differed from that version, she said.
“They contradicted Mike Williams’ account,” she said. “They (Williams and Baylor) were arguing and that led to the stabbing.”
After those statements were submitted — coupled with the fact that Baylor fled the scene — the warrant was issued, she said.
