Police found marijuana, pills, multiple types of live ammunition and drug paraphernalia, according to a police report. Officers also noted on the report that detectives and federal agents had made a controlled buy of cocaine and firearms from Williams in June.

Williams faces multiple felony drug possession and delivery charges as well as simultaneous possession of drugs and guns, theft by receiving, use of a communication device to facilitate a crime and unauthorized use of another person's property to facilitate a crime.

The report didn't specify the drug free zone in question. Arkansas law adds penalties for drug crimes near locations including schools, churches and daycare centers.

Williams' bail is set at $178,500. A court date is scheduled for Oct. 6.
