San Diego chef arrested for alleged 14-year flight from Iowa kidnapping charges

Brian Anthony Williams, 50, was arrested in San Diego’s Mission Beach on Tuesday after allegedly fleeing prosecution for 14 years. Williams had been living under the false identity of ‘Troy Williams’ and working as a head chef at Miss B’s Coconut Club.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Williams was charged in Iowa’s Scott County in 2012. He is accused of participating in the kidnapping, assault, and shooting of a woman, whom he and co-conspirators allegedly left in a field outside of Davenport.

Williams faces multiple charges in Iowa, including first-degree kidnapping, assault causing serious injury, conspiracy to commit a felony, and first-degree arson. He also faces charges for unlawful flight. He is currently being held awaiting extradition to Iowa.
