Williams Gets Three Life Terms

The plea is a conviction. Moody ran the two assault life terms together and stacked a third life term for fleeing, so the judgment is two life terms to serve, plus 10 years, with parole eligibility after 38 years. The district attorney asked for the assault terms to run one after the other. An officer was shot in the ankle.

Tulsa County District Judge Dawn Moody on Tuesday sentenced Armon Jonell Williams, 46, to three life terms plus 10 years. He pleaded guilty on Aug. 26.

The plea covers two counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, endangering others while fleeing police, and being a felon in possession of a firearm, along with receiving stolen property and vehicle counts. Moody ordered the two assault life terms to run at the same time. The life term for fleeing starts after those. He has two life terms to complete. Each life term carries the possibility of parole. He must serve 85 percent of the sentence, 38 years, before he is eligible.

Williams admitted that on Sept. 26, 2025, he fled a traffic stop after officers asked about a semiautomatic pistol on the floorboard. Police said that after a pursuit of several miles he jumped from the moving vehicle with a pistol near East Admiral Place and South Memorial Drive, shot at two officers, hit one in the ankle, and hit two police vehicles. An officer then struck him with a patrol vehicle. The officer's wounds were not life-threatening. Williams was hospitalized in critical condition.

District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler asked Moody to run the two assault life terms one after the other. He told her Williams shot with the intention of killing the officers, and he described a record going back at least 25 years that included first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, and firearm possession by a felon. Moody told Williams he was lucky she was not giving him the death penalty.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
