MIRAMAR, Fla. — Authorities took a Miramar man into custody on Wednesday after accusing him of shooting into a tow truck as a repo man tried to take his Lexus in October. It turns out he was already facing charges for another gun incident involving a repo crew five days earlier, according to court documents.
Police said the first incident ― for which Torey Eugene Williams was arrested on Oct. 30 ― happened on Oct. 10 in Davie.
Davie police said a tow driver and a spotter had pulled into a shopping center at 6946 Stirling Road to take the 46-year-old’s Lexus GS. An arrest warrant states as they lifted the vehicle and began to pull forward, Williams walked towards them with his finger on the trigger of a gun and said, “Put my car down,” pointing the weapon at the tow truck driver.
Authorities said the crew unhooked the sedan and Williams got inside and took off.
Five days later, on Oct. 15, Miramar police said a tow driver trying to repossess the Lexus at Williams’ home in the 2700 block of Riviera Drive was also greeted by an angry, armed Williams. This time, police said Williams fired a shot into the tow truck.
According to a report, Williams admitted to police that he came out with his gun, telling the driver to “put my muthaf---ing car down.”
Detectives said that Williams claimed he then slipped and the gun fell out of his hand, discharging a round into the tow truck when it hit the ground.
Authorities said video footage showed that he “exited the home and turned in the direction of the tow truck” and its driver “when the firearm discharged.”
Months after the incident, authorities filed a “not in custody probable cause affidavit” in the Broward court system on April 27. On Wednesday, Williams was taken into custody.
Court records show he’s facing two aggravated assault charges stemming from the Davie incident and one charge of shooting or throwing a deadly missile into a vehicle, dwelling or aircraft in connection with the Miramar case.
Broward Sheriff’s Office records show that Williams was being held in the agency’s Main Jail on a $5,000 bond as of Thursday morning.
