Action News Jax stopped by the property and was threatened by a woman with a metal bat.

A deputy was called in an attempt to deescalate the situation and notified the family that the news crews were on public property and had every right to be there.

Out of safety, we left the scene.

Williams is due in court Friday where a judge will set his bond.

Action News Jax spoke to neighbors who said meth was a growing problem in the community.

A woman, who didn't want to be identified, described C.R. 218 a "drug corridor."

She said there are a lot of drug busts in the area, but she would like to see more deputies on patrol.
