According to 247Sports, Alabama linebacker Tim Williams was arrested on Thursday morning for possession of a pistol without a permit. Bond was set at $300.

Williams, a senior, is one of Alabama's top defensive players. He is also one of the top prospects for the NFL, as he entered the season as Mel Kiper's No. 1 player for the 2017 NFL Draft.
