Stukes-Williams was inside the residence at the time, and arrested without incident, Tyner said He is charged with first-degree maintaining and operating a controlled dangerous substance production facility, along with several other drug offenses, along with hindering apprehension and hindering apprehension of another, his cousin. Ahmaad Williams turned himself in at about 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office. He faces the same chargers as his cousin. Stukes-Williams is one of several men charged in an altercation last year that led to a deadly shootout on the Atlantic City Expressway. Stukes-Williams and his father are both charged in that case. That battle allegedly started with a disagreement between Stukes-Williams and another man, Devan Leggette, inside the bathroom of the Mays Landing courthouse on Aug. 29, 2016. https://breakingac.com/more-details-come-out-as-more-indicted-in-deadly-expressway-shootout/
