On Nov. 3, an unidentified 17-year-old told the 911 operator that Williams had threatened "to beat me up" if he left the Newnan estate where Williams was staying.
Coweta Sheriff's Office Maj. Mike Kinsey said authorities weren't able to substantiate the boy's claims.
The 38-year-old Williams was in the same house Sunday night and arrested on charges he broke into a guest home and stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and coins. He's free on $41,150 bond.
