to turn himself in at the Sheriff's department.
But --by mid afternoon-- when Williams failed to appear authorities went to
his Ripplemead home.
That's when they discovered Williams had slashed one or both his wrists.
The family has asked that the hospital reveal no information-- but sheriff's
officials say he's expected to make a full recovery.

The indictment is sealed-- but sources who spoke to NEWS 7-- have shed some
background.
They say Williams did NOT tape the conversation but played it in front of
others and physically confronted one of the callers discussing his alleged
affair.
The case eventually ended in court-- with the judge taking the case under
advisement-- if Williams agreed to pay costs and get counseling.

A magistrate NEWS 7 talked with says Derick Gavin Ratcliff-- who's also

Virginia Republicans have successfully defended two House seats tonight, and
