The Florida State athletic program is again dealing with a current star who is under investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department.

Football Nation has learned through various sources that running back Karlos Williams is part of an on-going investigation of an alleged domestic battery case.

According to USAToday.com, "The alleged crime is an active on-going investigation and Florida Law does not allow TPD to discuss the details of any case while it is on-going," the police department said.

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said Friday in response to a report that Williams had been suspended, "There's another false report, and that's amazing how things happen. "Whoever has sources, whoever has rumors, needs to check who they are talking to – because that is about as far from truth as there is."

This is the second time in as many years that a Florida State football player has been the subject of a police investigation where an alleged assault took place. Last season it was revealed that quarterback Jameis Winston was accused of sexual assault from an incident that took place in 2012. The State Attorney in Tallahassee ruled there was not enough information or evidence to pursue an indictment in the case.

The Williams case is still being investigated by TPD.

Officer David Northway, spokesman for TPD, said the agency received the case Saturday night and it was immediately assigned to the agency's Criminal Investigation Division.

"Once the case is complete, it will be released under the guidelines of Florida Public Records Law," he said.

The Florida State Athletic Department says the status of running back Karlos Williams is under review after the Tallahassee Police Department said he was the suspect in a domestic battery incident.

Once word leaked concerning Williams, the FSU Athletic Department released this statement.

"The Athletics Department is aware of an investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department involving football student-athlete Karlos Williams. Until we receive more information regarding the alleged incident his status with the team will be under review."

Williams, a senior running back starting this season for the first time in his career, has rushed for 378 yards and seven touchdowns for the undefeated Seminoles.

Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen says he is representing Williams. He declined to comment.

There is no word yet whether Williams will play in the game against Louisville on Thursday.

It appears the accusations against FSU running back Karlos Williams are starting to mount. According to reports, not only is Williams the subject of an ongoing domestic battery investigation, he is also alleged to be looked at in an alleged armed robbery case apparently from a botched pot deal.

Mark Schlabaugh and Brett McMurphy, both of ESPN.com, report that “the Florida State Attorney’s office for the 2nd Judicial Circuit in Tallahassee last week attempted to interview Williams about a June 23 robbery of an FSU student. Williams declined to speak to an assistant state attorney and an investigator from the Tallahassee Police Department about the incident last week, state attorney Willie Meggs told ESPN.com.”

ESPN reports that on July 30, Tallahassee police took Daravius “Gutta” Lawrence (then 17, now 18) into custody for his alleged role in an armed robbery of Freightlin Shooter Cox, a 26-year-old Florida State senior who is also a retired Marine.

Cox indicated to Tallahassee authorities that he was robbed by three men while purchasing pot at his home near Seminoles’ Doak Campbell Stadium. That purchase fell apart, Cox told the Tallahassee police, and he was subsequently held up by two other armed men allegedly accompanying Lawrence.

Williams has yet to be charged in either the domestic abuse case or the armed robbery case. He was seen at Florida State’s practice on Monday in full pads. The Seminoles travel to Louisville for a Thursday night ACC showdown.

FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher was quick to downplay a report out of Jacksonville on Monday that Williams was potentially part of an investigation into the domestic abuse violations, stating the sources were “false” in their knowledge. Fisher has been a vocal proponent of quarterback Jameis Winston as he continually has been the center of continued accusations of wrongdoing.

“There’s another false report, and that’s amazing how things happen,” Fisher said to reporters. “Whoever has sources, whoever has rumors, needs to check who they are talking to — because that is about as far from truth as there is.”

As of now, there has not been any other statement released by the university or its athletic department regarding either incident.
