Memphis signee Mikey Williams pleaded not guilty to numerous felony charges on Thursday in an El Cajon, Calif., court.
Williams, a five-star recruit, appeared virtually in court and pleaded not guilty to five counts of assault with a deadly weapon in connection to a shooting outside of his San Diego home on March 27. He also pleaded not guilty to a count of firing inside an occupied vehicle for allegedly shooting inside a car carrying five passengers following a “verbal argument about guests in the house being asked to leave,” according to the San Diego County sheriff’s department. The police’s incident report indicated that the car was hit by gunfire, but no one was hurt.
Williams did not make an in-person appearance in court because of “security reasons” and the “stressful” nature of the current situation, according to his attorney Troy P. Owens Jr.
