He attacked several people he didn&#8217;t know with &#8220;a large hunting knife&#8221; because they turned into demons while he was talking to them. A local police officer subdued him with a taser. In the picture above, he was in the infantry (blue cord and blue disks) and his family claims that his service in Desert Storm made him a little nutzo;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Williams has a history of mental health problems dating back at least nine years, when he was petitioned for treatment after arming himself with a hammer and knives in his own home, according to court documents obtained by 24 Hour News 8.<\/p>\n<p>His family has told 24 Hour News 8 that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the U.S. Army during Desert Storm.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>According to the petition filled out by an aunt, Williams told his family \u201cpeople are following him, people are under (the) house and jumping out windows and no one else can see them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His mother and sister said he was carrying a hammer and knives in a \u201cthreatening posture\u201d in the house, \u201cthrowing objects\u201d and digging, apparently in the crawl space, to find people.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>His cousin, Lawhawn Scroggins, of Utah, told 24 Hour News 8 that Williams called her on Tuesday \u2014 three days before the Amtrak stabbing \u2014 to say that people were following him and trying to kill him. She and Williams\u2019 uncle, David Scroggins, said he suffers from PTSD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well the court determined that his lunacy was related to cocaine abuse and drug use. But the Army made him crazy. I&#8217;ll tell you that you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find an expert on PTS who would conclude that PTS caused Williams to hallucinate. I&#8217;m going with the drug abuse excuse. <\/p>\n<p><iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen src=\"http:\/\/up.anv.bz\/latest\/anvload.html?key=eyJtIjoiTElOIiwicCI6ImRlZmF1bHQiLCJ2IjoiMzkzNDU4IiwicGx1Z2lucyI6eyJkZnAiOnsiYWRUYWdVcmwiOiJodHRwOi8vcHViYWRzLmcuZG91YmxlY2xpY2submV0L2dhbXBhZC9hZHM%2Fc3o9MXgxMDAwJml1PS81Njc4L2xpbi5XT09EL25ld3Mvc291dGh3ZXN0LW1pY2hpZ2FuL2FtdHJhay1zdGFiYmluZy1zdXNwZWN0LWZhY2luZy1tdXJkZXItY2hhcmdlcy9kZXRhaWwmY2l1X3N6cz0zMDB4MjUwJmdkZnBfcmVxPTEmZW52PXZwJm91dHB1dD14bWxfdmFzdDImYWRfcnVsZT0xIn0sImFuYWx5dGljcyI6eyJwZGIiOiI5ODEwNzcwMiJ9LCJvbW5pdHVyZSI6eyJwcm9maWxlIjoiTElOIiwiYWNjb3VudCI6ImRwc2Rwc3dvb2QsZHBzZ2xvYmFsIiwidHJhY2tpbmdTZXJ2ZXIiOiJsaW50di4xMjIuMm83Lm5ldCJ9fX0\"  width =\"500\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Kone sends us a link to WOOD-TV which tells the story of Michael Williams who &hellip; <a title=\"Michael Williams; another crazed vet\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=57451\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Michael Williams; another crazed vet<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
