The story said that 48-year-old Oakland resident Felicia Williams was arrested Thursday afternoon at her home. Authorities told the Bay Area News Group that Williams remains jailed on a no-bail hold and has not been charged with a crime as of yet. An arraignment date has reportedly been scheduled for Jan. 8.

Sanders and a second suspect in Le's fatal shooting, Allen Brown, were arraigned Thursday morning during their first court appearance since being taken into custody.

According to court records, Brown was the driver of the car that chased the undercover officers while Sanders -- the passenger in that car -- was the one who opened fire, killing officer Le.
