On June 21, 2026, at approximately 0930 hours, I, Sgt. Spruell spoke with [VICTIM #1] at the police department in reference to an incident that had occurred at the AMP concert the night before.
[VICTIM #1] stated that she had been having problems with her boyfriend’s Ex-Wife (Crystal Williamson). [VICTIM #1] said that at about 2106 hours, she and her boyfriend were standing next to the Irish Bred Pub’s back door watching the concert. [VICTIM #1] stated that this is when Williamson saw her and approached, yelling, “You’re fu*king my exhusband!”, and touching her chest area in a provoking manner. [VICTIM #1] stated that she then got her phone out to record the incident, which is when Williamson snatched her phone out of her hand and ran off with it. [VICTIM #1] stated that they eventually somehow got the phone back from within the crowd of people.
I attempted to locate footage of the incident but was unable to due to the large crowd in the area at the time (2106).
I have attached a cellphone video of the incident provided by [VICTIM #1]. The video appears to show Williamson reaching out and trying to take the cellphone.
I informed [VICTIM #1] of the process of obtaining a TPO.
[VICTIM #1] wished to prosecute.
I attempted to contact Williamson via cellphone but was unsuccessful.

ACCUSATION FILED — TWO COUNTS AGAINST CRYSTAL LYNN WILLIAMSON IN CARROLL STATE COURT
What this means: On August 5, 2026, Solicitor Rebecca Jackson filed a formal accusation — case number S-2026-M-4087 — against Crystal Lynn Williamson in the State Court of Carroll County. An accusation is the formal charging document used in State Court misdemeanor cases in Georgia, filed by the Solicitor rather than a grand jury.
Count 1 charges Crystal Lynn Williamson with Simple Assault under O.C.G.A. §16-5-20, alleging that on or about June 20, 2026, she committed an act that placed the alleged victim in reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury, by lunging and shouting profanities at the alleged victim and pointing her finger into the alleged victim’s chest in an aggressive manner.
Count 2 charges Crystal Lynn Williamson with Criminal Trespass under O.C.G.A. §16-7-21(a), alleging that on or about June 20, 2026, she knowingly and maliciously interfered with the alleged victim’s possession and use of a cell phone — the alleged victim’s personal property — without consent, by snatching the phone out of the alleged victim’s hand while the alleged victim was recording and attempting to leave the scene with it.

What this means: On August 5, 2026, attorney Timothy A.

8/5/26
WAIVER OF ARRAIGNMENT FILED
What this means: On August 5, 2026, Crystal Lynn Williamson, through her attorney, filed a waiver of arraignment. An arraignment is the court hearing where a defendant is formally read the charges and enters a plea. By waiving arraignment, Williamson is acknowledging the charges without requiring a formal in-court reading, which is a common procedural step when a defendant is represented by counsel.
8/5/26
MULTIPLE DEFENSE MOTIONS FILED BY TIMOTHY A. HEATH
What this means: On August 5, 2026, defense attorney Timothy A. Heath filed several motions on behalf of Crystal Lynn Williamson in the State Court of Carroll County. These filings are standard early-stage defense actions in a criminal case.
The motion for discovery asks the prosecution to turn over evidence it intends to use at trial. The motion for additional time to file motions requests that the court extend the deadline for the defense to submit further legal arguments. The Brady motion asks the prosecution to disclose any evidence that could be favorable to Williamson — under the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brady v. Maryland ruling, the prosecution is legally required to share such evidence. The objection pursuant to O.C.G.A. §35-3-154.1 relates to the use or disclosure of criminal history records. The motion for disclosure of items arguably subject to suppression and preliminary motion to suppress asks the court to identify and potentially exclude evidence that may have been obtained in a manner that violated Williamson’s constitutional rights.

What this means: The State Court of Carroll County scheduled an arraignment hearing for Crystal Lynn Williamson on August 18, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. This date was set as a condition of Williamson’s appearance bond. Because a waiver of arraignment was filed on August 5, 2026, this scheduled hearing may be used instead to address the pending defense motions or other preliminary matters in case number STM2026004087.
