SNELLVILLE — Gwinnett County Police have arrested a man who is accused of multiple robberies and performing a sex act on a 73-year-old woman in December.

During the course of the investigation, the lead detective assigned to this case identified 20-year-old Walter Tommy Williams III of Stone Mountain as the suspect in this series of robberies.

Williams was taken into custody on Wednesday, June 6 and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail at around 11:15 p.m.

Williams has been charged with the following crimes:

  • Armed Robbery                                          4 counts
  • False Imprisonment                                    4 counts
  • Aggravated Assault                                     4 counts

Police say the suspect would call and make a food order and schedule a delivery for homes on Wellington Hills Way, Wellington Hills Lane, and King Richard Court. All these homes are in the same neighborhood.

The suspect would meet the delivery driver outside after they arrived and once the driver pulled up, he would pull out a gun and demand their cash, wallet, and cell phones. One delivery driver was assaulted by the suspect when he didn’t have any cash to give him.

On Sunday, Dec. 2,  police say the suspect went to a home in the same neighborhood and knocked on the door. When the resident of the home answered, police say the suspect barged inside pushing the 73-year old woman and closing the door behind him. Police say the suspect immediately began demanding money.

According to police reports, when the elderly woman said that she didn’t have much money, the suspect demanded that the woman perform a sex act on him. When she declined, he placed the gun to her head and asked if she wanted to die and then performed the sexual act upon himself.

According to a police statement, when he was finished, he rummaged through the woman’s purse and stole what little cash she had. When the victim started crying, he gave her a tissue.
